This relates to the Uploader API and the SWFUploadManager.js file distributed with Fluid.
I believe the default "fileTypes" setting of "*.*" is inappropriate and could cause undesirable behavior that can be tricky to debug. Tricky enough, in fact, that I'm not 100% sure of the problem so I'm hoping someone on this list who's a Mac user can test things out for me. Problem: File type "*.*" does not match files that have no extensions Possible Solution: fileTypes: "*" On my linux system, the original setting results in extensionless files not appearing at all in the file browse window, and changing that setting fixes the issue. I *think* this may also be related to a report I have from a client that he can't upload a .zip file that includes an extensionless file. It appears that SWFupload actually peeks inside the compressed files to make sure you're not using a .zip to get around the file type restrictions in place. When this happens, the cause of the behavior is very non-obvious given that most people naturally assume "*.*" will capture everything, which is not the case here. I believe "*" is the fix, but I haven't made the change to the wiki myself because my testing abilities are limited to my Linux system at the moment. If some Mac users out there can confirm this and perhaps test the compressed file problem, that would help and perhaps then the script defaults could be updated. - Aaron -- Aaron Brown :: [email protected] :: www.thebrownproject.com _______________________________________________________ fluid-work mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://fluidproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-work
