This is most likely an issue with FileBrowser but I'm mentioning it here in the hope that somebody might have had a similar issue or could possibly shed some light on this problem.
A user recently had some difficulty with their site when they attempted to upload a file to the Media Library. The file they were attempting to upload had a question mark in the filename (e.g. example?.jpg). The file uploaded somewhat successfully but appeared in the file browser as a directory rather than an image (I assume because the filename was truncated at the '?' - i.e. dropping the extension). This new 'directory' couldn't be deleted. Much more worrying was that all other images/files in the target directory and its child directories were deleted! Gone. Disappeared. I have no idea how this could have happened. I can only assume that it is related to the issue I referred to in the previous paragraph as I was told that that was when the files disappeared. It also doesn't look like user error as the child directories were all still there - only empty. I can't replicate this (the disappearing files - I can replicate the corrupt directory issue by uploading a file with a '?' in the filename) and have very little idea of where to start looking for an explanation. I've raised an issue on the django-filebrowser github page but would like to hear from anyone here who might know something about this problem. The site in question uses Django 1.6.5, Mezzanine 3.1.9, and FileBrowser 0.3.5. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
