Is it possible to set different workflow settings for assets within a single tree location, based on the asset type?
We have a folder containing news items which require approval before going live. However, the users have only got access to a limited set of images, so images which are uploaded beneath the appropriate news items do not require approval. Currently, the folder which holds the news items has a workflow schema set, with the cascade option enabled, which is fine for those, but also applies it to the images.
Other schema types have this filtering possibility (e.g. metadata schemas), but I can't see an option for it within workflow.

You could use the Matrix trigger system to selectively add or remove the workflow schema from certain asset types. This might end up with a bit of confusion over where exactly the schema is applied, but it would do what you are asking. The trigger system has to respond to an event, perhaps on 'asset created' you could strip the workflow from the image assets in that section of the site.
