We have a MAJOR problem since upgrading to Umbraco 6... Previously, when you replace a Media file with a new file of the same name (and checked "Remove file"), the new Media item would have the same URL as the old one. NOW it generates a new subfolder for the item, for example:
/media/174753/img_0762.jpg
becomes:
/media/174754/img_0762.jpg
This naturally breaks all of the links to the image/document. Our clients are quite upset about this change. How do we fix it?
If the media item is selected with a media picker it shouldn't be a problem because the url should get updated. If they are doing hard coded links I don't think there a solution for that.
The media in question is NOT select by a Media Picker but rather through a link. The thing is, this is a NEW behavior, it wasn't like this in older versions of Umbraco... There must be a way to fix it, no? It's a MAJOR problem for my clients and frustrating the daylights out of them.
Replacing File In Media Breaks Links!
