Hello,

When I'm uploading an image, it goes to "temp" folder. Is that normal?

Cheers.

How the new system in version 8 works is that uploaded files go to a 'temp' folder, then when the post is posted to the server the upload files are moved to a permanent folder.

This is done so that uploaded files are now atteched to posts, so when posts are deleted the uploaded files are deleted along with them.

Any files left in the 'temp' folder are orphaned files that are not attached to any posts as either they where deleted from the post before it was posted or the posted was never posted to the server.

I am planning on making a tool to delete files from the 'temp' folder when I have time, but for the moment you will have to use FTP to delete files from this folder.
