      Description: This is the ExtFile/ExtImage Zope Product.
      Long Description: The ExtFile Product stores large files in an external file-repository and is able to display icons for different MIME-Types. The ExtImage Product additionally creates preview-thumbnails from various images and displays them. ExtFile and ExtImage basically work like the Zope File and Image products. The difference is, that the File/Image Products stores the (binary) file inside the ZODB, wheras ExtFile/ExtImage stores it externally in a repository directory (default: /var/reposit). Only meta data (like title and description) are stored in the Database. This prevents the Database swelling up quickly, when many large files are uploaded and thus increasing database performance.
