Attached please find a new uploads.php.

I have rearranged the columns to be more logical, given them a border to be more usable and resorted the downloads by the order number instead of the upload ID.

Thank you, the new uploads.php is so much easier to use.

As I manually delete the uploaded files from the images folder every week it does not matter that they cannot be deleted from Admin, but do you have any ideas as to how to delete the names of the uploaded files from the Admin? I currently have 40 pages of them. The only way I have found is to delete all trace of the order from the database.

No, I had thought about looking in to deleted them, but it's really not a big deal anymore, as the array only pulls the max search results which is currently set at 25. So you are only querying the orders on the page you are on... and since the old ones are in the back now....

You are right it is not worth worrying about deleting the references to the files. Uploads in the admin is so much easier to use now and only need to go to first 2 pages to find the files to download. One minor change which I have managed to make for myself is that it is very useful to keep the customers file name included within the downloaded file name. If I need to contact the customer about a problem picture I can give them their file name, the orders I get usually have 5 or 6 photos on each personalised banner.

Thank you for doing this update.

Well I still think it is an important function to be able to delete files and records related to the uploads. Because the upload directory takes up a lot of space if you have a huge amount of uploads on a daily basis and otherwise it can get confusing if you manually go and delete files on the server as to which ones to delete and which ones might not have been processed yet, not to mention the technically challanged operator which might never have ftp'd to the server in their life and relies on being able to point and click within the admin panel.
Not to mention the database filling up with records related to the uploads which over time serve no function anymore once the order is processed.

Manually deleted them in FTP will not make them disappear in the admin... The records is what is displayed in the admin and is has nothing to do with your uploads directory which you should be pruning regularly.
