I therefore ran the unused attachments with auto-delete. Trouble is it deleted half the images that were attached to categories with a new field. I therefore had to go back in to each category and do the image again

I have had trouble with attachments before, it seems if you accidentally delete some attachments, it screws up the images associated with links, some links end up displaying images from other links. So I now backup the attachments folder twice daily.

Fixed it to be compatible for the next release.
