I am not sure why, but any time I try to upload an image with .JPG (all caps) it will not upload, but if i rename it to .jpg (all lowercase) it finds it in the choices. is anyone else having this problem. I am using google chrome on ubuntu 10.04 on a dell M6400.
This has to do with the server system Ross is using. For whatever reason, Windows-based servers cannot recognize capital letters in the filename extensions.
I am guessing you're using Lightroom for your photos? It is a very, very sad option in Lightroom that all filename extensions are capitals and as far as Lightroom 2 you cannot change it.
@jasonbarnette I don't think that is right. Windows servers have no problem with files with capital letters in the Extensions. They do see .JPG the same as .jpg since they can recognize but do not differentiate between caps and non caps in the file system. Linux/Unix based file systems do see that as two completely different files, so you could have photo.JPG and photo.jpg in the same directory and they would be two different files, where Windows would not allow it.
I haven't tested this myself, but I would guess that webpage is written to look for .jpg as one of the options, and in Windows it would also recognize .JPG, but since the OP is using Ubuntu, then I could see where it may not see the pictures ending in .JPG
But I could be wrong. If LightRoom always saves as .JPG, then I would anticipate that this would impact Mac users as well, since they are *nix based.
I just tested it out with ubuntu 10.04 and several different browsers. The flash uploader will not find any image that ends with .JPG. But if you change to the basic uploader it'll find them and they'll upload just fine.
