Once installed and enabled this TYPO3 extension creates dummy image files (jpg, png, gif, txt, pdf, youtube and vimeo) when trying to read a sys_file_references in case the referenced sys_file record lost its file.

(!) Only recommended for development contexts. Don't use this experimental extension on production systems!

Settings

Checking the checkbox enables file faking for missing FAL files.

Specifing a remote host enables remote fetching of the record from said host. If that fails the file faking is next.

Btw.: missing folders will be generated on the fly.

Kudos

Thanks to Alexander Nostadt for their contributions.
