Hi,
Everything was running smooth suddenly whatever I upload using swfupload comes in as "new_file" instead of original file name and extension.
No error whatsoever but the files are unusable.
When I uninstall dataobject manager along with swfupload I can upload things just fine using the native uploader.
Using swf upload r373
dataobject_manager r374

There was a bug in swfupload that I fixed only 1 or 2 revs ago. Make sure there are no updates available for that module.

Hi Uncle Cheese,
I downloaded your latest revision from trunk to no avail.
Still having the same problem.
This happens on my live server.
On my local machine it is working OK.
Are you aware of any server setting issues that may cause problems?

Yeah, there are a lot of environmental issues that can interfere with SWFUpload. Mod_security is the biggest one. Is the file making it to the server? Usually "new-file" means the record was created, but the file isn't actually in the filesystem.

When did this start happening?

It appears as new_file inside the admin panel,but when I go to check with ftp nothing is inside the uploads folder.
Apparently it does not make it to the server physically...
It all started after creating lots of albums and uploading jpgs with image_gallery yesterday.

Add:

SWFUploadConfig::debug();

to your _config.php and see if you get any interesting feedback from the debug window.

I did in fact 5 minutes ago
and I get a
"Server said 376" applet which I have no clue*_*

I guess you mean this:
