change data of file and image cards to URL
Ticket
I made this a support ticket in case there's already some way to do this that i'm not thinking of; if not, i'll make this an Idea, or just a Ticket if there's no objection.
well, not link, of course! I think it should be raw, because that's how it should be stored. I think this is a good idea but not ready for a ticket.

I made this an idea. Would the ticket be change data of file and image cards to URL? And what's not ready to ticket about it?

Currently, image content is |img src="URL"| and files have |a href="URL"|

Lew, I like this idea -- representing images and files in the database with urls. It seems to me more like what the raw content should be. Why was it that you didn't like this plan?
Hmm, I did actually just realize an issue. What if we want a url to a medium-sized image or an icon? Raw will always return the same thing. Hmmm, maybe we're going to need a view after all.

Sizes can be specified via size: in inclusions and size= in URLs - hopefully that "just works" when this is done, otherwise I guess we can ticket it.

oh, I'd say keeping the current functionality is implicit. Or, if not, I hereby explicitify it.

this is not exactly what we're doing. the new solution is described in implement password security for files. Basically, all actual files will now be behind a security wall, which means that they can only be referred to by the cardname. This means the card's raw content actually becomes irrelevant to regular rendering. Therefore closing.
