I am using the import feature. I have uploaded the files to a folder on my server, that I specified in the settings as the import folder. When running Cron, a node is created for the files in the folder, and it appears that the file is converted (I can see the .flv file on the server when looking through ftp), but when I click edit on that node, all that I can see is the original unconverted file and not the .flv file.

I'm curious about the actual process - how does this work. Does it first attach the original file to the node, and then swap it out after file conversion? Do I have to do something else to make this work? Am I missing a step? Thank you very much.

It also appears that the node has been set to publish which is only supposed to happen after conversion has finished - but the conversion doesn't appear to be reflected. Also, the file that is attached to the node doesn't actually exist on the server anymore, since I have set the original files to be deleted upon conversion. But it's still the only file that is attached to the node.
