I believe it would. Unfortunately, that's the way the old version worked, for whatever reason that's what they decided to do. I agree, to me, the logical thing is to delete it, but I guess it doesn't happen often enough that people aren't worried about it. :-/

I'll try these things. Maybe I'll have to implement something similar based on it.
I did notice this though....
When I add a file, then add a new one, the second version of the dialog comes back empty (i.e. it doesn't display the first file) . . . which is what I hope for. However, when I then delete one in the edit component, then add a new one, it will appear twice in my repetition, with the first not deletable. I imagine that is unrelated, but right now, that's all it is, imagination, as I am not as clear on this as I'd like to be.
Thanks for your help.
Andrew
