Hmmm it seems as though it only gets updated when you go into TinyMCE and re-save the block the image is used in.

You need to clear your concrete5 cache in order to see the new image throughout the site. Blocks typically use the getThumbnail() api call to resize images and will referenced the resized cache file (of the old image) until the individual block is updated or the cache is cleared.

Will clearing the cache also remove the old, replaced file? I think that file still sits on the server, and doesn't get physically replaced right? I really think the replace feature should REPLACE the actual file...

Files managed with concrete5 (including images) also have versioning just like pages. You can "roll-back" to previous versions of any file that is replaced. So no, old files do not get replaced, they remain on the server. I'm not sure if they are permanently deleted if you delete them through file versioning or not.

Ohh, thanks for clarifying that!

Imma submit this as a bug.

@nickelfault: This is not a bug. Initially it might seem to but it is not. As @glockops mentioned correctly, Concrete5 comes with versioning. Basically you can re-establish blocks/pages as they were back in history. To be able to do this a file can not be replaced.

I had this issue too initially but clearing cache is all you need to do. Go to Dashboard > Settings > Optimization > Clear Cache. Reload the pages which contain the media you replaced and you see all is sweet.

cheers,

But what would be a good proposition is that the systems clears the cache automatically after a media replace is done. That would be a good feature indeed!

I think this can be worked on will try it for sure....
