hi, i noticed, when "Always Import Profile Data" is set to yes, new user pics are added in the image folder.

this happens with CB.
they should replace the old ones, not just being added.
i have some user picture modules and they still show the old pictures even if in the fb_login module is shown the new one.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. The process is that a user's Facebook image is downloaded to the /images/comprofiler folder with a filename like jfbc_12345_tmp.jpg. Then, that image is copied to a unique filename for the user, and then used as their avatar. Are you not seeing the new image updated, or do you just not like the jfbc_12345_tmp.jpg files? Or is it something else.

I just logged in with the Facebook account that is working, and changed the profile picture twice. Each time, after re-logging in, I see the new avatar. This seemed correct as the CB avatar stays the same as the Facebook profile picture. The update only occurs when a user logs into your site.

I'm not sure if this is related to the most recent issue I sent you a solution for from the (long) JFTP error. However, please try the fix I posted there and let me know if you're still seeing the avatar problem:
