Comment	> Adding so this doesn't get lost. The image variable type currently > uses the system's temporary file storage to store the image file that > is to be displayed in the image form field. This is broken because it > requires that the file NOT be removed after request shutdown since > fetching the image via an img tag is a separate request. This causes > files to build up in the tmp directory. > > Instead, we should at least provide the option to use the VFS system > if it's available with possible fallback to a tmp directory. > > Below is some email correspondence for the record: > > Quoting "Michael J.
