OS: LinuxMint 11
Browsers: Chromium, Firefox, Opera

recently i've tried selling some stuff on trademe... and i've noticed that when i reach the Photo adding part i get the popup box to select photo... to my surprise under pictures folder where i store my photos for the auction it shows nothing...

at first i was using Chromium so i decided to try it on Firefox thinking it's a browser issue... same result, then i fired up Opera to try on it and still no pictures appeared for selection..

I looked into the Picture folder and all the picture files are there, then i noticed that they all have .JPG extensions... I then quickly altered the needed pictures to .jpg and ka-boom.. trademe upload tool recognizes them

have you ever come across this Win users or Mac users? or is it more of a Linux-Browser issue?

I noticed that with my camera files being .JPG and I had problems loading them onto photobucket until I saved them in gimp as .jpg so it seems that camera want t be different...when they shouldn't bother.

I am having trouble with trademe on linux at the moment. I run two computers side by side, one with XP and one with linux. Recently the linux computer hangs when I try to upload a new listing especially where photos are concerned, I think I might nead to download some sort of a flash player or something. I have Chrome on both
