pwrentch.FileReferences

pwrentch.FileReferences adds a browser view to your Plone site that produces a report showing all of the File and Image items in your site, or sub-folder of your site. Along with each item it also shows any content items in the site that link to that File or Image item.

This report can be useful in assessing the types of files and images your content editors have added to the site. It can also be useful if you're looking to remove or replace a certain file or image and need to know what other content links to it.

Click the "customize" link at the top of the page to choose to include/exclude File and/or Image items and to limit the type of documents displayed by their file type. File types are determined by filename extension and/or mime type.
