Hi,

after upgrading to Imagefield 6.x-3.1, the Imagefield module somehow became "inactive"; at ./admin/build/modules/list, the checkbox was unchecked, however dependent modules like "Imagefield Import" and "Zoomify handler for imagefield.module" still were active.

Since I'm updating the modules through Drush, I noticed this only after a View diappeared which was based on an Imagefield. Enabling the module via ./admin/build/modules/list wasn't possible, but "drush enable imagefield" fixed this. Still it's a bit frightening why the module seems to somehow have "deactived" itself (with all consequences resulting from this).

If this behaviour is wanted, please add a note at the project page and/or in UPDATE.txt.

Thanks & greetings, -asb

This can happen if FileField is not available during the update between Drupal 5 and 6 (if you didn't put your site into offline module for example). Unfortunately Drupal core has that terrible tendency of making it impossible to enable modules that have dependencies enabled. See #430866: Update error when filefield was not previously used for more information on this issue.
