at node_save wenn filefield is active my symlink to the files directory get deleted [#998884]

Dear drupalers,

Something strange happens with filefield. I'm currently using windows 2008 with apache as server and the miles directory of my drupal install is a symlink to another location on another drive. This all works well...

If I create a new node (page) and I upload a file it uploads it and works fine, the symlink is active. But as soon as I save it (or edit and save a node) it deletes my symlink of 'files'.

Could anyone please help me...

Well, after searching for hours and going through a trail and error set, I've found the problem for some reason in the module of filefield_paths there is a function named: filefield_paths_cleanup_temp that caused the problem. It deleted my files symlink for some reason.

I commented the 'rmdir' lines of this function but does someone know if this can become a problem in the future ?
