CreateUUID for images 4

[jimmyshoes]

I am embarking on a web app which allows users to store profiles of themselves. Each profile can have up tpo 10 images. When a user uploads an image, I plan to convert it's filename using CreateUUID().All images for all users will be stored in an images directory.

Will this be enough to ensure that all image names are unique or is there a better approach? Maybe each user should also have their own images directory?

Why not name each image userID01, 02,03.... you already know the user id is unique.

You could have an images table and name the image the imageID and have a userID in the table then you could query the userid to find all images for the user.

This is late, I know...
but why not just use <cffile action = "upload" nameConflict="makeUnique">

if the user uploads an image named "me.jpg" which already exists this setting will rename the image to me1.jpg automatically.
