## REMARKS Permutations:
## REMARKS Path Method Description
## REMARKS Null FileRef Node.Data stores fully qualified path to the file
## REMARKS Null Data Node.Data stores the object (no file)
## REMARKS Path FileRef Node.Data stores a non-qualified file name (relative to Path and using a tempfile name)
## REMARKS Path Data Not a valid combination
## REMARKS
## REMARKS Change behaviour (conversion): CONVERSION IS NOT SUPPORTED YET! ALTHOUGH MODE SHOULD BE STORED ON THE NODE?
## REMARKS
## REMARKS D path D Method Modifies Description
## REMARKS Path -> NullPath FileRef->Data D Database Import (old files left)
## REMARKS NullPath -> Path Data->FileRef DF Database Export (database data replaced with file ref)
## REMARKS Path -> NullPath FileRef->FileRef D store fully qualified path in node?, and the next Children will Not use the database path
## REMARKS NullPath -> Path FileRef->FileRef DF Copy file from location specified in node to database Path
