Dnn.platform: File suffix with Resource Manager in 9.8.0

[simont1952]

I am populating a brand new install of 9.8.0 with the Telerik components removed.

I needed to upload a number of images from my client of various sorts (png and jpg). THe filenames had extensions mostly in lower case but 3 images were labelled with .JPG. The Resource Manager refused to upload these.

I went to the allowed file types and added JPG as one of these and retried - again the file were rejected.

Finally I change the filenames extensions to lowercase jpg and the files were accepted and uploaded with no problem.

I am attaching two versions of one of these files in both variants to see if others have this issue.

Upper case file name extensions are so very, very, very wrong. Can we call this a feature?

[simont1952]

I do agree with the sentiment. It is just what came from the client.

If most people agree it should stay as it is then I am good with that. Perhaps this should be more widely known. Maybe it is expect for me.

Regards

Yeah, sorry, I was being glib. In the real world my mild OCD doesn't matter, technically extensions can be upper case. An option in the file manager to auto-lower-case them on upload would be nice, but again, my mild OCD.

IMHO, by default, the resource manager should allow upper case extensions.

Jeremy, I would agree with your suggestion as a fellow mild “CDO” sufferer.

Thanks for reporting this. Hopefully, it's a simple fix. I'll take a look into this as soon as I have some available time to do so.
