However, the problem with a perfectly legit jpg file being rejected stands. I've seen some reference to it on drupal.org too. ----- Original Message ----- From: Neil: esl-lounge.com To: support@drupal.org Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2007 10:46 PM Subject: Impossible to delete user picture
I am having an odd problem with user pictures.
I uploaded one, let's call it Picture A.
I then deleted it and my user pic disappeared. As expected.
I then tried to upload another jpg image and got the message "the uploaded image was not an image". So then I tried another and Picture A appeared again.
So I went to files/pictures and manually deleted it and ran through the previous two stages again with exactly the same results. One jpg got rejected as not being an image and magically, Picture A reappeared again.
I am using simply Upload module and have never seen such malfunctioning with core modules. Has anyone seen anything similar before?

Could it be that you just *think* it's a perfectly legit jpeg? If you use M$ OSes, there are some apps that will create a file and just kind of fudge the spec about how a file of that format is put together. (This can happen on other OSes, too, it's just that in the Mac, Linux, and BSD communities that sort of thing gets weeded out faster.)
Then, even though the pic is readable in some programs, others will handle the errors differently. If this were the case, opening and re-saving the file in something that can read it, but saves jpg files properly, would fix the problem. gimp.org is one suggestion.
