Many thanks to Dave, Mark and Jonah for your replies. To be honest, I wasn't very happy with my solution in the first place. The solution was to wait for a file to be thumb-nailed before deleting a temporary file that had been uploaded.
I am using this as a substitute: <cfset waitforthis = "#application.webroot#file-store-user\#session.userID#.gif"> <cfloop condition="fileExists(waitforthis) eq 0"> </cfloop> So I check for a new file to exist before deleting the upload. >>-----Original Message----- >>From: .jonah [mailto:[email protected]] >>Sent: 11 December 2011 23:31 >>To: cf-talk >>Subject: Re: Puzzling error >> >> >>OR you could just use sleep()! >> >>Available since CF 8. >>http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2007/6/15/cf8_hidden_gem >>_sleep_function >> >>Much better than spinning really fast in a loop. >> >>Cheers, >>.jonah >> >>On 12/11/11 11:22 AM, Mark A.
