Support for Visio filetype (preview, edit in desktop client etc)

CP works fine with Word and Excel: you can upload them, place them in a community, watch in as a preview, and edit them (in a desktop client). Unfortunately those functions don't seem to work for Visio-files. We use those a lot, and right now it's...

Disable status updates for multiple file uploads

Possibility to change owner of a single file

Currently there is no possibility also for admins to change the owner of a file. We have a number of users who had to be removed from our system. The owner of their files cannot be changed. Please let us know how to change the owner of a file.
