[Seaside] TFFiler: creates file containers to store external files in Monticello

[AxiNat]

Hi Tony,

Exactly, I meant the full system path of a file that's stored in a container
class, something like:

localFilePathFor: aFileName

^  (FileDirectory default / relativePathToFile / aFileName) pathName


I'm using TFFiler in my app and it works very well, thanks again!

Cheers,

Bernat.
