Patrick,

Could you kindly implement this as separate functions that could be also 
accessed by recipes, instead of authors copying the same snippets? Something 
like:


  # /path/to/file.jpg; existing or to be uploaded/relaced
  $fspath = GetUploadPath($pagename, $filename);

  # this one handles also $EnableDirectDownload
  # and $EnableLinkPageRelative
  $url = GetUploadUrl($pagename, $filename);


This way, PmWiki handles all file locations, whether the file exists or is to 
be uploaded/generated, whether for the same group/page some files were 
uploaded per group, others per page.

Thanks,
Petko
