last author
-----------
i just made a cvs head checkout to test the full media import feature  
(Issue1322). i noted that the last author information in the  
properties tab does not seem to get updated. the information about  
the last author is correct in the publish and content tab but not in  
the properties tab.

after full media import and before editing and publishing:

tab         author       creator
--------------------------------
publish     unknown       admin
properties  mpetitmermet  admin
content     unknown

why is author "unknown" when it is given in the properties tab? now  
you will tell me that the user "mpetitmermet" doesn't exist in the  
instance where the import happend therefore the author is "unknown".  
then i answer you that the last author remains "mpetitmermet" as long  
as the document does not get changed and published regardless if the  
user "mpetitmermet" exists in the current silva instance or not (the  
properties tab is prove of that). i know this is nitpicking but there  
is an inconsistency here which should be fixed eventually.


back to the more important problem; after editing and publishing as  
user "admin":

tab         author       creator
--------------------------------
publish     admin         admin
properties  mpetitmermet  admin
content     admin

why doesn't get the author changed in the properties tab? i don't  
think that this has something to do with the full media import. is  
this a silva bug?


access permissions
------------------
i can understand that when doing a full media import in a different  
silva instance, maybe even on a different server, that the user and  
group roles get lost. but the public view access restriction setting  
should definitely survive!
