So you didn't look close enough ;)

It's called shared_extensions:

That isn't available AFAIK.



In fact, even if sharing files between networks is an interesting idea, each
network seems (technically and traditionally) better for some kinds of files
(small or big files, few or lots of shared files, video, audio, etc.)

It would be very interesting to filter files *per network*:

* file type(s)
* number of shared files (with some automatic rotation when they're too many
files to share)
* ...

Or, if you suspect that the core will never to smart enough to filter files
(what about "post bop jazz tracks" ? :) ), a way to specify for what
network(s) each shared directory will be available...
