Im converting a a site from D6 to D7 and one of the major reasons for doing so was to use the private file system feature of D7. This is supposed to be a departmental only site so they would like some of the file to be private.
in D6 they were public and I just made views by using filters on file:path for views of specific directories and things worked great. Id specify something like path contains: "document/forms" and Id get just the files in that directory.
in D7 with private files all I get for paths are things like: private://Customer List_Feb 8 2012.xlsx
or if I specify download path I get: https://mysite.com/system/files/Customer%20List_Feb%208%202012.xlsx
Is there some way to see the actual path on the filesystem like i used to do? Or is there a newer way of doing this I havent come across yet?
