This is my first post here. I have searched the forums for a similar question, but cannot find one. However, if I have missed it the admins can feel free to point me in that direction and close or delete this one.
We are looking at Umbraco as a possible replacement of our CMS for a relatively large website and have some questions/issues with the way umbraco handles media.
In my testing it seems like if a content page links to a media document, and then that media document is deleted or overwritten, the link does not update accordingly, is that correct?
Also, are there any addons that provide more advanced media handling? I have looked but couldn't see any.
I hope this is the appropriate place to post this.
I asume that you're linking the image from either a media picker or from the rich text editor? Then yes it's correct that there currently is no logoic that removes the link if the linked image is deleted.

Hi Matt and welcome to our :)

What options are you thinking about? I will at any time recommend you have a look at DAMP here http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/digibiz-advanced-media-picker and also CropUp http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/eksponent-cropup
Hope this helps.
If you have any further questions please let us know :)

Hi Jan
Jst out of interest, how much effort, if possible, would it be to extend Umbraco to remove linked items after a Media item has been deleted?
Thanks
