[support] Is it possible to attach an existing file to a newly created node - ??

[Kamal Palei]

On further debugging it looks node_save is not working as expected.

node-save() basicall looks as below

transaction();

try
{
//do node save related steps
rollback();
}catch(Exception)


Looks during node_save execution, finaly it comes to exception block.

Is it a bug or I am doing some mistake before calling node_save().

kamal
