Media Object File attachment is too slow

Have you ever gone to MO attachments and waited and waited for the FILE button to appear, like the below:

If you look at the frame source, you will work it out…  14MB in this clients case!

 

 

<option value=14>Human Resources</option>                                 <option value=16>Manufacturing</option>                                 <option value=18>Misc Images</option>                                 <option value=20>Misc.

The code above shows that it’s actually listing EVERY file that’s in the folder pointed to by the P98MOQUE entry for BusinessFunctionDoc.

In my case when I go to P98MOQUE and see where this points, it’s the deployment server printqueue folder (huh?).  But, this has lots of files.

So, Add AardvardAttachments as a file type attachment location and specify an empty dir, then your page is going to be faster than any other!
