Hey Morten.
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/core-documentation/doc_core_api/4.3.0/view/4/2/#id2525241
Please check your FCE data structure. There you will find a TCA type:group
and internal_type:file.
TYPO3 default behaviour on internal_type:file (the only behaviour on that type)
is to copy a selected image to your uploads folder or, if configured, to copy
them to a specific foder inside that upload folder. Have a look at the
attribute uploadfolder.
The internal_type:file only stores the file name without the directory. That's
possible because each file is copied to the same uploads directory with a
unique name. If the file being copied to the uploads directory conflicts with
anouther file there, TYPO3 renames the later copied one.
That's what Björn said.
Since TYPO3 version 4.3 (I think so but i'm not sure about the version number)
there is an additional internal_type called file_reference which will not
copy files. Where the internal_type:file stores only file names, the
internal_type:file_reference stores the complete file path of the source file.
The internal_type:file needs more space on your file system because of
duplicating files every time you connect them to a database record. If you use
that type with large files like videos, this could be a problem. But on the
other side, you can change or even remove the source file without any effect on
your FCE.
Because internal_type:file_reference doesn't copy files, it doesn't use the
space on your file system multiple times. But on the other hand, when you
change or remove your source file, that instantly influences all FCE the file
is used.
There's no better or less good sollution for that problem because it isn't a
problem at all. You should think about what you want the FCE behave. Often you
want to have copied files, for example if you have lot of editors working on
your site that have no overview where the files are ued. But sometimes you
don't want to have files copied, on large files like videos for example.
So you should think about if you realy want to avoid the file copy thing or not.
As Björn said, if you want to use the copied files you should use the
10.file.import = uploads/. But I'm not sure if the files are realy copied to
the uploads folder directly or to something like uploads/templavoila or
something.

Betreff: Re: [TYPO3-english] Fexible content element renames my images?
Am 18.03.2011 14:31, schrieb Morten Kjems:
Hi.
I am setting up a flexible content element that displays a small gallery
with four images.
If I click Browse for files and chose the same image for all four
image fields, a number is added to the filename. If I chose myimage.jpg
then the filenames will be changed to myimage_01, myimage_02, myimage_03.
These images do not exist and therefor nothing will be displayed in the
frontend.
The same thing happen if I chose an image, remove and the chose it
again. The second time I chose it a number will be added to the filename.
How do I avoid this behavior?
My TS for the image fields looks like this:
10 = IMAGE
10.file.import = fileadmin/billeder/
10.file.import.current = 1
10.file.import.listNum = 0
10.file.maxW = 152
Any suggestions?
This is standard TYPO3 behaviour. If you select an image, it gets copied
to uploads/ with a sequential number added. The goal is, that changing
an image does not compromise other occurences of that image.
So there are 3 possibilities:
1)
10.file.import= uploads/
2) use dam and dam_tvconnector (see the manuals hwo to use it)
3) in trunk (and 4.5 if i am right) there is a config option to switch
of the copying behaviour. Information should be in the wiki.
