Is this a good solution in your opinion ?

Create empty database entry and get db-id ?
Do you think I have to do:
$id = $model->insert(array()) ... // with an empty array()
and then $model->update($form->getValues(), $id) ?

and if I have NOT NULL fields ?
if I have FOREIGN KEYS to other tables ?
if I have UNIQUE KEYS ??
If I have many people doing the same concurrent operations with
transactions ?

mmm .. IMHO $form->getValues() simply do not have to move files
and not even filter them in terms of renaming/scaling/watermarking etc ...
just validate them only for MaxFileSize, Count, MimeType, Extension ..
that's all

.. it's only my point of view ;)

thanks anyway
