Chris, I am afraid we need more than this. What little information is here is written by experts and that is a mistake. The file picker is confusing of itself, but the basic file handling is just not addressed at all. How do links to a repository work? How can I upload a zip file and unzip it and access those files when I have a course in 1.9.x that contains 365 images without having to recreate every link to every image. People build courses over time and transitioning to M2 is going to take up far more time than they have - just to learn how file handling works.--[[User:Colin Fraser|Colin Fraser]] 23:20, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Update to Moodle 2.0

OK, files are different in M2. If this page is the jump off to file handling, we need references and screen shots of the file picker and some help for people who are used to earlier versions.

Course files starts to help those used to previous version. However, we learn that course files in M2 is the exception, not the rule.:) Perhaps some new pages are necessary for the subject of files in pre and post Moodle 2.0. --Chris collman 01:14, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
