Filter $bits in wp_upload_bits()

[Viper007Bond]

It'd be nice if there was a filter on $bits in wp_upload_bits() to allow plugins to modify uploads coming in from XML-RPC. Resizing, watermarking, etc. are all example uses for this filter.

Since it's a simple filter, perhaps it could be slipped into 3.0.

To clarify, yes this can be done after the file is saved to the filesystem, but then the thumbnails must be regenerated and the meta data updated. A big hassle.

If we are going to do this have you looked at adding a corresponding filter for uploads done via AtomPub?

AtomPub uses wp_upload_bits() too, doesn't it?

Pass the filename so it can be used to determine file type

I have thoroughly tested this tonight via XML-RPC and it works awesome. I don't have an AtomPub client though, but I don't see why it wouldn't work as it's the same kinda thing.
