TYPO3 Core

yes, this is a bad behaviours of Import/export taht i never liked much..

i don't even know if it is really useful (i guess they made it work so to not ovewrite or something like that)

Well in my opinion this is a bug. The importer should handle file references as it oes with pictures or dcuments included in a tt_content-record.

I am not a programmer, but it seems to me, that i entered the following "else" in class.tx_impexp.php:

I will try to check the "update"-box when i import so see if this solves the problem...

02074 } else {
02075 // Create the resouces directory name (filename without extension, suffixed "_FILES")
02076 $resourceDir = dirname($newName).'/'.ereg_replace('\.[^.]*$','',basename($newName)).'_FILES';
02077 if (t3lib_div::mkdir($resourceDir)) {
02078 foreach($fileHeaderInfo['EXT_RES_ID'] as $res_fileID) {
02079 if ($this->dat['files'][$res_fileID]['filename']) {
02080 $absResourceFileName = $fileProcObj->getUniqueName($this->dat['files'][$res_fileID]['filename'], $resourceDir);
02081 $relResourceFileName = substr($absResourceFileName, strlen(dirname($resourceDir))+1);
02082 $this->writeFileVerify($absResourceFileName, $res_fileID);
02083
02084 $tokenizedContent = str_replace('{EXT_RES_ID:'.$res_fileID.'}', $relResourceFileName, $tokenizedContent);
02085 $tokenSubstituted = TRUE;
02086 }
02087 }
02088 }
