Hi guys, On image upload I am using a server-side script to generate a thumbnail and different sizes of the image uploaded. After migrating to version 2.0.1-1, after the upload the server-side script is not triggered anymore. I have tried both pre and post process (the snapshot is for “files.{folder\_path}.post.post\_process”) but it seems that this feature is not there anymore. Event based scripting is working for the other services, but not for the file service. I have tried both on my hosted environment (ubuntu 14.0 x64) and on the 1 hour AWS demo. Maybe I do something wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/dreamfactory/original/1X/b8420cbe2d6fb8604a136842d4a6f0a11357fefc.PNG) Thanks Gabriel ---

I’m having a similar issue for file/folder downloads. var\_dump doesn’t work, etc… I don’t want to step on bitperbit’s toes here, but mine’s for slightly different use case concerning overwriting event.request\_path. ---

No harm done 😄 Actually you gave me a hint on how to include the thumbnail in the response. If I can make it work again. The alternative is to create a custom service for file upload and download. ---

Any updates on this? Do the developers know it to be an issue? I see debug messages in the logs about pre and post processing events for many other resource and service events (api\_docs, system, mysql, db, user, etc) but nothing for files, and none of my attempts to create a file pre or post processing script have worked. ---
