LC Server Image Weirdness

[Paul Hibbert]

Hi Rick,

I'm no expert in this area, but it sounds to me like the image is not being released after the upload, other list readers may have a better idea.

If you are using "Open File", "Write to File" etc., make sure you also use "Close File" after the upload to release the image file for other applications to use (i.e. the browser).

If that's not the case, maybe Jacqueline's suggestion to a similar problem I had a while ago, using the shell touch command may help, I think this should still work on the Server.

put "touch -c " & quote & <path/to/your/image.jpg> & quote into tCmd
get shell(tCmd)

More info on the Touch command here…

No guarantees, but may be worth a try.
