WM files and metadata.xml remains when deleting resource??

[k.j...@kmjeuro.com]

Hi,

when i delete a resource the folder:

0_1e469bcc4847a2e

and the files:

metadump.xml
50thm_wm_df2733daac3999a.jpg
50scr_wm_8c3bb7672ee0493.jpg
50pre_wm_bc38a11247c7ab8.jpg
50col_wm_600a93cd8a621a0.jpg

remains. Does somebody have a patch to this one. Really run into
troubles with it. (4.3.2912)

Thank you,

Karl

I think I've known about the metadump file being left for a while. But
I'm not sure what the other (WM) files are. Anyone?

One option would be to simply delete the resource folder entirely when
someone deletes a resource. Would there be unintended consequences if
we did this?

I'd be mindful of the difference between the "deleted state" vs. true deletion, certainly! It's a config option.

Right, only talking about true deletion, obviously.

I am mid in looking to find an fast solution because i am in the
process of uploading around 85000 resources to the server and i need
to have a clear folder/file structure which doesnt have any files on
disk which not in the database.

function delete_resource($ref) in resource_functions.php should do
everything but unlink of watermarked files and metadump.xml is not in
this function.

removing the full folder would for sure be the best solution, because
this makes it impossible to forget files.
