When I create repeating events that includes a custom Thank You email with file attachments I get "Warning: Failed to move file!" error on the page when Saving.

The first event in the series has the correct file attachments. No other events in the series have the attachments included.

Basically you attach the files in the repeating event, save, get an error about "Failed to Move File" and non of the repeats of the event come with the attached files.

Please help.

I wanted to re-touch on this issue.

First, Thank you for initially addressing it!

Second,it seems it's MOSTLY solved but there's still some errors/issues/areas that could be improved.

1. Attaching multiple files still fails in some instances. If I attach 3 files for instance, it seems it only copies the 1 or 2 smallest files and not all 3. It could be some sort of timeout as a result of DT Register multiplying the files for each event and running out of PHP memory?
2. It seems like a massive waste of storage space to have the files re-copied for every repeating event. Why can't DT keep the same file and re-link to it for the repeating events instead of having 'File.pdf" become "file1.pdf, file2.pdf, file3.pdf" etc etc etc. If you attach 3 files and make 40 repeating events, you just added 120 files to your site, all duplicates.
3. Once #2 gets addressed, would it be possible to Select a File from the file storage location so you don't have to re-upload another file every time you want to attach an existing file? If there's one file that gets attached to all event, why not allow us to select it for it to be attached if it already exists on the server?
4. Any chance of DT Register fitting the Joomla structure and storing files in the Downloads folder. Or maybe even better, being able to select a file that already exists in the Downloads folder?

Thanks again for all you do to support our needs!
