Hi list,

I tried this, as I also had not merged the metadata.  After merging, I 
now get the following in the error logs:

host70.catalog.com eYpBwjHd:catalog.com - [23/August/2005:09:51:21 
-0400] catalog5 /cgi-bin/catalog5/admin/item_edit failed to write 
images/items/Winter.jpg: Inappropriate ioctl for device
host70.catalog.com eYpBwjHd:catalog.com - [23/August/2005:09:51:21 
-0400] catalog5 /cgi-bin/catalog5/admin/item_edit No key 'code' found 
for function='update' table='products'

When I looked at the uploader meta information, the original 4.8 catalog had
<A 
HREF="admin/upload_file?ui_image_preview=/catalog/images/products/_UI_VALUE_&ui_upload_binary=1&ui_upload_backup=0&mv_arg=images/products/_UI_VALUE_&ui_start_dir=items&ui_return_to=admin/item_edit&ui_return_to=item_id=_UI_KEY_&ui_preload=_UI_TABLE_:_UI_COLUMN_">upload...</A>

while the 5.2 catalog had
<A HREF="admin/upload_file?ui_image_preview=[var 
IMAGE_DIR]/items/_UI_VALUE_&ui_upload_binary=1&ui_upload_backup=0&mv_arg=images/items/_UI_VALUE_&ui_start_dir=items&ui_return_to=admin/item_edit&ui_return_to=item_id=_UI_KEY_&ui_preload=_UI_TABLE_:_UI_COLUMN_">upload...</A>

I tried replacing the 5.2 code with the working 4.8 code, but nothing 
changed. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Peter
