“More filedot links” means multiple rows per record, each pointing to a different JPG. Python script example (pseudocode) scanning a folder of JPGs and creating links:
Example Apache .htaccess rule to redirect .link requests: AMS More Filedot Links jpg
asset_001.jpg.link.v1 -> asset_001_v1.jpg asset_001.jpg.link.v2 -> asset_001_v2.jpg asset_001.jpg.link.latest -> asset_001.jpg.link.v2 “More filedot links” thus includes version pointers. 4.1 Broken Links Problem: JPG moved or deleted, but .link remains. Solution: Periodic validation cron job: “More filedot links” means multiple rows per record,
