1. I add a link with a file attachment to a category without a directory (probably makes no difference, but just in case). 2. I forgot a required field. 3. Logically I'm required to reenter the link information. 4. THe link is now succesfully added. 5. I go with FTP to the directory 6. Two files are listed in the directory, even though there's only one link with a file.
Apparently the file is still uploaded, even though the required field information was incorrect.
Two problems with that: - Bug: It should be deleted afterwards. - Inefficient: It shouldn't be uploaded in the first place. If it's a big file, it may take 20 seconds or so to upload it, just to delete it because required fields were forgotten.
