Hello,

Having an import problem with a JPG file

I work on osX with Fmpro dev 6.04

The file won't import into Filemaker, it isn't even listed in the import list (dimmed). I can open it in all other apps but not in FM. If I resave it with photoshop 7 it works OK.

What's wrong with this file? Any info appreciated.

There is indeed something wrong with that JPEG. I couldn't even drag it out of a browser window to my desktop - behavior I've never seen before. However, once I'd gotten it to my hard drive, I saw the same problem you describe. After simply opening it in Preview and saving a copy, it works fine, though. Just a JPEG corruption issue, which happens sometimes - FileMaker just chokes on certain JPEGs every now and then.

I've enclosed the new version for you.

The strangest thing is when i batch process it with a shareware app the problem persists. I really have to resave it.

That

I have it! Its the extra dot in the name that did it and being from a PC user there is no metadata. PhotoShop apparently adds extra metadata to the PC files so that FM pro can use them.
