In a previous post I talked about wanting to levelrage category
aliases to organize files in subfolders of /www/files.

I got this working for the "initial" file add. However I now have two
small isses, one maybe a bug..

In my last post I noticed in producion environment when I "delete" a
dmFile object, the record is deleted, but the physical file seems to
stick around. Perhaps there's something silly on my side, but can
anyone confirm this?

2. when processing an object that uses formtools, whats the sequence?
I successfully got my files to be uploaded to the "category" based
subfolders by extending the BeforeSave function of dmfile and setting
the ftdestination dynamically. so I assume BeforeSave is running
before the valiation function of formtools/file.cfc?

So my new problem... If I "edit" an existing dmfile object and change
the categories I use to determine the subfolders, I am not using the
file field, so the record is updated, but obviously the file is not
moved... so .. I need to figure out how to trick file.cfc in to moving
the file.

I am doing my manipulation inside the if statement below.

<cfif structKeyExists(arguments.stProperties,"filename") AND
len(trim(arguments.stProperties.filename))>

so it makes sense thet len(....filename) fails ..

are the values of the objects properties "before I click save"
avaialbe? is there some way for me to say "if the property
"subfoldercategory" is different in the forms scope vs. the objects
record, then set the filename variable to the what ever is stored (if
anything) and go ahead and do the formtools file.cfc... which thn
hopefully moves the existing physical file to the new folder?

or something like that. any ideas form all you gurus. Obviously I have
no idea what I am doing ;)
