happen, but there is no way to restrict <em>Write</em> permissions
on a folder to specific file types. The only suggestion I can make
is to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Allow write permissions on the folder to everyone you want to
have the ability to create images in that folder<br></li>
<li>Assign a workflow to the folder that has a series of steps to
be followed if someone uploads a <strong>non</strong>-Image asset
(e.g. allows administrator to delete)<br></li>
<li>Create Asset Factories that have the <code>Workflow Mode</code>
set to <code>None</code>, which will bypass the workflow assigned
to the folder.<br>
<ul>
<li>Set these asset factories to use the <code>File Limit</code>
plugin and restrict file types to jpg, gif, etc.</li>
<li>This way the user has a bypass on the workflow via an Asset
Factory that <em>limits which filetypes can be uploaded</em></li>
<li>A drawback is that the user will not be able to copy into the
folder or rename items within the folder without using the
workflow</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol></div>Ross
