File Entity

drupal.org/project/file_entity

  • Re-uses core's file entity and enhances with additional UIs for managing files
  • Should be a bit more abstract, splitting functionality to separate modules: field-able files, file types, file download formatter.

drupal.org/project/fallback_formatter

Replaces File Entity module's file display configuration.

Other Components

What happens with the Media/Scald module itself?

  • Default entity browser configuration
