For example, let's suppose I run an instance with multiple users and people have been posting awesome cat videos. Eventually I get a notice that my VPS is running low on disk space, and I want to disable further video uploads. But I don't want to delete the existing videos! If I were to disable the video plugin entirely, then existing videos would fail to load or lead to crashes, based on the traceback reported in #382. So instead, I'd like to have some kind of per-plugin directive that lets me keep the media type enabled while disabling future uploads. I'm thinking something like below. {{{ [plugin_spec] +# Prevent users from uploading new media of this type? +disable_upload = boolean(default=False) + # Should we keep the original file? keep_original = boolean(default=False) }}}",enhancement,new,minor,,programming,,"disable,upload,media",,
