[Product-Developers] Re: PloneFlashUpload treating some jpg files like files

[David Bain]

For those of you who may find this solution via Google, here is the
summary of the fix.

Go to {yourplonesite}/manage > content_type_registry > ATImage_ext

To the list of "Extensions" add 'JPG' (that's all caps) (for fun and
profit you can also add 'PNG' and 'GIF'.)
