upper-case filenames can't be selected

14 years ago • updated 14 years ago • 1

When transferring photos from a Linux computer (running Firefox) to an ipad, the file selector in the browser only shows files with a lower-case extension (*.jpg). Files like IMG00001.JPG are not shown, and can not be selected.

Hello Mike,
Thanks for posting your question here. We are aware of this problem happening with Linux computers only. For some reason the file selection works different on Linux than on Mac and Windows.

We are using flash player to be able to select multiple files at once and looks like the implementation of the file selection interface behaves differently on Linux :( We implemented a solution but still need a few days to publish an update that solves this problem.

In the meantime if you are comfortable using the linux terminal you can batch rename your files using a simple command. Do a backup of your files first (just in case) and then you can execute this command on the folder were you have your pictures:

for f in *.JPG; do mv "${f}" "${f/.JPG/.jpg}"; done;

This command will rename all .JPG files to .jpg

I hope this helps you. Let us know if the command above was useful. We will publish an update that fixes this problem soon.

Kind regards,

The Photo Transfer App team
