I've got a requirement to make uploading of some special pdfs easier and extend their metadata.

My thoughts are to allow upload via webdav or FlashUpload and then use a custom workflow ensure all the new metadata is filled out.

It appears I can achieve this via
a) Create a new archetype based on ATFile with extra fields
b) Create a new archetype with an AttachmentField
c) Adapt the existing ATFile object to add the new metadata using schemaextender.

I'm not sure of all the implications of each option.
option c seems good because I can then use ARFilePreview right?
and what are the implications if I wanted to use some external storage?
How local is SchemaExtender changes?
That means every ATFile in the system will have those new fields right?

Dylan.
