I uploaded some jpgs and then later changed the names of some of these same image files locally. I deleted the files on the sever and uploaded the new files that had the same name as the old ones. WS generated the old thumb nails associated with the original file names instead of making new ones.

Also, If I up load an image it makes the thumnail and all is fine. If I then change the same named jpg locally, or if I rename a different image to that original name, and then upload it and over write the original one on line, it replaces that image, but the thumbnail in WSFTP is not updated, even if I hit the refresh button in WS or F5. The only way I can get WS to update the thumb on line is to rename it, and then I have to rename it back to the original name on line so that it will work with the HTML it is set up for.

Please help, as I am updating a lot of pix and have hidden pictures on line now... I can't tell what I actually have with out opening each one as the thumbs are not reliable... not much of a FTP program in this state.

PS: If this is a software bug it, and/or it's work around, should be in the FAQ section until it is fixed with a free patch? Asking a customer to shell out $30 for support seems unfair IMHO. I bought the program just over a year ago. If this isn't a WTS software problem, my apologies to WTS, but I still think it should be in thier FAQ section as it apparently isn't just me having the problem.

Paul Beugeling had this work around, not very convenient for an payware FTP program that is supposed to work, but at least it is a temp solution till it gets fixed or the problem is divulged by a WTS Tech here... WTS?

"I also had this exact problelm ... not only with the names but the display image also, where the name was the same but the image was different ... my solution was to delete the IpsThumb.db file on both remote and local side (not sure if you have to do it on the local side) then re-uploaded the images, hit the referesh button....worked for me..."
