I hate to tell you, but regardless of wether you log it in a database or not in order to edit and rename files, etc you have ot edit the files themselves, so why add the extra step of the database in between?I understand what you are saying but for the most part it is more work thatn is needed. There are times when you'll want a database record of the files like in a CMS or something but for small applications it is needless.
