I'm using VB 3.7.2, LDM 2.2.9-post1, Firefox 2, Windows XP (SP2). My upload folder is located within the public htdocs folder. I am testing with administrator privileges in VB/ LDM. I am using LDM's extra swfuploader plugin.

When editing an entry, the user is able to upload another file (the file is created in the upload directory), but the new file does not show (file is not linked to in the entry) and his upload allowance is not updated. For example, I had an entry with an uploaded file called first.mp3. I edited that entry to change the uploaded file to second.mp3. The new file was created, but after saving the edit, the new mp3 did not play instead the old mp3 still played since it wasn't deleted and the user upload allowance was not updated.

Also, if the file extension of the new file is different from the old file, the "Rename" field will not accept a name with the new file extension since LDM still has the old file extension in the database.

Suggestion: If you can't fix this problem, can you PLEASE provide an option to disable changing the file upload when editing an entry? The user is still allowed to delete the file upload and edit the entry, just don't allow the user to edit the file upload. PLEASE provide this option in your next update if you can't fix this problem.

Note: found partial solution to this problem - read my next post.
