"File Already Exists" error needs a re-write
Developer Preview
Just uploaded the first image to a brand new install of EE with empty files and got this error:
File Already Exists A file with that filename already exists. You can either choose a new name and the file will be renamed, or you can use the same name and the existing file will be overwritten.
The file didn’t already exist, but it did have a image title of:
Block 49 night rendering.jpgwith spaces and all.
The file did need renaming, but not for the reasons stated in the error, so the error was misleading in this case.
The good news is that this will prevent our clients from using file names with spaces, but we’ll either need a second error message to display when file name formatting is really the issue, or combing that information into the existing error.
Hi, Kurt. That’s a bug.
In earlier builds I uploaded files with spaces in them all the time. I’ll report it as a bug, thanks for mentioning it.
ETA: Reported internally as EE-1073.
Hi, Kurt. Fixed in a new build from today.
OH… is that build where I can get my hands on it, or is it staff-only? If I can, I’ll up date our test copy too.
Thanks for the heads up.
Kurt, we’re looking at sending out a new dev build sometime before the 2.2 release, most likely this week.
