Hi everybody
I have played around with the new Media / Media Set function in NAV2017, and are planing to use it for an upcoming implementation at a customer.
But in my testing i also found, that NAV does a bad job of cleaning up.
If you delete an Item, then it deletes all the related pictures and thumps, but if you upload a new picture to replace the existing, the old picture and thumps are left behind parentless.
Is this maybe by design, i don't think so because i cant find a way to link the data back, so not much of an archive there.
Is it a bug?
My customer has around 20GB of pictures, that change a lot. This could fill the db with junk.
Normally i would create a table for the pictures to avoid perfomance issues, as MS has done with this new feature, but if it leaves a mess then....?
We have to remember that Media handles thumps for webclient and app, this will not be the case if I use a custom table.
Any ideas og knowledge regarding this issue and the way to go.
PS.
I can do a manual cleanup!
