Some suggestions #117

Hello, It is some suggestions for development in the future:

Thank you for your hard work on this package!

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. These are the types of things that CollectionFS does for you, and file-collection intentionally leaves for the developer to implement. That is by design. I abandoned CollectionFS and wrote file-collection almost entirely because CollectionFS's "kitchen sink" philosophy of adding every requested feature made the system large and difficult to maintain and understand.

CollectionFS is no longer maintained, largely for that reason, I suspect. I'm scoring +1 for the file-collection's simpler "do less but do it better" philosophy on that account. I'm not likely to change that going forward.

To briefly add: The first 2 suggestions can be implemented via appropriate allow/deny rules.

The 3rd suggestion can be accomplished by instantiating your own resumable.js instances. See for example: https://github.com/vsivsi/meteor-file-collection/issues/71

In future releases, my goal is to minimize the direct ties between resumable.js and file-collection: https://github.com/vsivsi/meteor-file-collection/pull/107
