Thanks everyone, for the help... Here's the final solution, if anyone's interested:
<cffile action="upload" filefield="photo_01_upload" destination="#uppo#" accept="image/jpg, image/pjpg, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/png" nameconflict="makeunique"> <cfset form.photo_01="#file.serverfile#"> <cfimage action="resize" height="" width="400" source="#rppo##file.serverfile#" destination="#wppp#/#listfirst(file.serverfile, '.')#_w400.jpg" overwrite="yes"> <cfimage action="resize" height="" width="100" source="#rppo##file.serverfile#" destination="#wppt#/#listfirst(file.serverfile, '.')#_w100.jpg" overwrite="yes"> This gives me the original image in a folder, "Original", with the original filename intact: "House.jpg". A resized 400px wide image in a folder, "popup_400", with the original filename changed to: "House_w400.jpg". And a 100px wide image in a folder, "thumbnails_100", with the original filename changed to: "House_w100.jpg". I realize I don't have to rename the photos because they're going into separate folders. However, in case I ever want to know the width or id the photo by name, I can just look at the filename spec. If anyone sees any improvement that can be made in the code, please let me know! One thing I did notice is that the cfimage tag doesn't have a "nameconflict" option. It seems it really needs one. Any reason why it wouldn't have one?
