still present on ubuntu 10.04 lucid. specs: nautilus file browser 2.30.1 <- not sure if this is used by firefox flash 11.0.1.152
on both firefox 7.0.1 chromium 15.0.874.106 i thought linux didnt depend on file extensions. (i guess it doesnt when running a file, but it does when filtering file displays in the file manager) tried to replicate on xubuntu 11.10, the first time i clicked on button, filter is set to 'ALL FILES' and files can be seen. (but multiple files can't be selected, when they are expected to be selectable holding down shift <-works on windows) only single file selectable. clicked cancel tried again. this time filter is set to "Images" and cant be changed. No more images displayed. same problem. All images have .JPG extension. which is what a lot of cameras are producing. guess workaround is rename. but this won't be as straightforward for other users. xubuntu file manager: thunar 1.2.3 <not sure if firefox uses this same problem, only .jpg files are visible. important because photos from different cameras produce .JPG guess another workaround (but not as feasible :) ), ask everyone to only use .jpg as extension. wouldn't it be simpler to just add .JPG to the Images filter in whatever filter the internet browsers are using? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221409 Title: Ubuntu Browse Multiple Files dialog does not recognize capital / uppercase JPG as image Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I use Firefox to upload images (multiple), the multiple file upload box (when set to limit to images only) does not show jpeg images if the file extension is a capital or uppercase JPG. It shows others just fine. I've seen reports of this occurring on Myspace, as well as http://www.imagebam.com/flash_upload I believe this is an Ubuntu problem and not a Firefox problem, as the browse window should be part of Ubuntu. The single file upload may or may not be affected by this problem - I haven't seen any websites that limit to the image filetype on single file upload.
