Media Problem - "Selected File Type Not Valid"

[kvhollis]

I've been trying to add media to a cartidge. I add the name, the description, then I click on Add. I select the JPG file and I get the error, "Selected File Type Not Valid". I have never had a problem previously with any other cartidge.

 

I can open the photo in Windows and in Photoshop with no issues what so ever.

 

Has anyone else seen something like this?

I saw something like that in an early version of the builder. Try renaming the file to use a lower case file name.

 

By the way, which version of the builder are you running?

I tried lower case - still no luck.

 

I'm using build: #2.0.4721.3802 after running into the DLL issues with the last build.

Mind if I play with the image file? I'm coming up on my lunch break at work.

Sure. I'll attach them here. I added 3 here. These are just a few of the ones I wanted to add of 6 or so.

I'm looking at it once I find the builder version you are using. It would have been easier to note the date.

 

One last check: are you sure your file extension is in lower case? I accidentally typed "file name" in a previous post. I meant to ask about the extension.

That did it! Never would I have imagined that!

Holy cow you're using an old version of the builder -- January 21st! It took me fifteen minutes of installing, checking, and uninstalling just to find the version from the number you gave me!

 

Definitely look at your image's file extension. I can reproduce your error in that version by changing the file extension from jpg to JPG. Are you familiar with changing file extensions?

[Ranger Fox]

Oh, okay. I was typing my response while you were typing yours.

 

I made some notes to compare version numbers to dates. It's incomplete, but I'll post it for future reference somewhere:

1/21 2.0.4721.3802

2/11 2.0.4807.4874

2/25 2.0.4825.3287

3/7 4907

 

And, now, lunch time!

Oh yea. Certainly changed all of the file names and it's working like a champ. Is there a more recent build that is stable and doesn't suffer from the Zoine DLL problem?

I can't answer that. I've never had this problem on my computer. Heck, because of this thread, I uninstalled and installed about seven or eight different versions of the builder in quick succession and didn't have the problem when I reinstalled the current version.

 

Hmm... I almost hear the chants of Wherigo forum-goers everywhere, hexing my laptop to have this problem.

Me too! Hopefully you use something like VMWare or Virtual PC to do all of that!
