Comment 15 for bug 221409

still present on ubuntu 10.04 lucid.

specs:
nautilus file browser 2.30.1 <- not sure if this is used by firefox
flash 11.0.1.152

on both
firefox 7.0.1
chromium 15.0.874.106

i thought linux didnt depend on file extensions.
(i guess it doesnt when running a file, but it does when filtering file displays in the file manager)

tried to replicate on xubuntu 11.10, the first time i clicked on button, filter is set to 'ALL FILES' and files can be seen.
(but multiple files can't be selected, when they are expected to be selectable holding down shift <-works on windows)
only single file selectable.
clicked cancel tried again.
this time filter is set to "Images" and cant be changed.
No more images displayed. same problem.

All images have .JPG extension. which is what a lot of cameras are producing.
guess workaround is rename. but this won't be as straightforward for other users.

xubuntu file manager: thunar 1.2.3 <not sure if firefox uses this

same problem, only .jpg files are visible.

important because photos from different cameras produce .JPG

guess another workaround (but not as feasible :) ), ask everyone to only use .jpg as extension.

wouldn't it be simpler to just add .JPG to the Images filter in whatever filter the internet browsers are using?
