Moving imagefield thumbnails to final directory [#399318]

I've come across the following situation where I'm using imagefield to upload images, and filefield paths to direct the images to a specific directory, for example, /sites/default/files/photos/albumX

When the image is first uploaded the files (original and thumbnail) goto

/sites/default/files/photos/[title]

which is what I expect. However, when I save the node, only the original file is moved to /sites/default/files/photos/albumX. The thumbnail remains in /sites/default/files/photos/[title]. does this module actually move the files then, or is something else responsible for that? I'm pretty sure this was working before, and I would like to track down what is causing the issue :)

More info. If I edit the node, the imagefield module is expecting the thumbnail to be in /sites/default/files/photos/albumX (view source on page shows that), but it's not there and so I don't see any image thumbnail when editing the node.

Yes, FileField Paths should be moving the thumbnail as well. Will look into it.

The following seems to be the problem

      // Move ImageField thumbnail
      if ($file['module'] == 'imagefield') {
        file_move(

$file['module'] is returning 'filefield' ... I've implemented a short term hack for now :)

Update - This may be due to the fact that I'm setting the field type to file, instead of image, when creating the CCK field. I raised this question in the imagefield project because it seems like you can build your CCK imagefield either way and looks to work the same, but I could be mistaken about that :)
