When I was building fanatics.com I originally had all of my product images in one directory. As the catalogue grew to hundreds of thousands of items, managing the directory became a nightmare and it was very taxing for the operating system. Ultimately we employed a strategy to nest files by product id range 1-9,999, 10,000-19,999 etc. Or smaller sets depending on what you’re doing and how you need to manage the files.

Before I use the “Write” action, I would like to check to see it the file already exists. I could use the “List Directory” action and then parse, but as I mentioned there are a lot of files and it would be cumbersome and slow. I tried the “Read File” action and I get server errors if it can’t find it. I may be doing something wrong though. I would prefer not to use the “Command Line” action because of its inherent challenges. Any ides or suggestions how I am using “Read File” incorrectly.
