Hi
I just re-organised some document sub-directories beneath the \assets\ directory, then added a few more documents manually to those sub-directories.

When I hit the "Look for new files" button in order to re-synch the directories with the database I get a "There was an error looking for new files" error.

How do I figure out what's wrong?

Thanks Smurkas!

Firebug says there's an "Uncaught ValidationException". The full output is below.

I think it's saying it has encountered a file extension it doesn't like, but why would it then abort the entire mission? Is this a SS bug? Or do I simply need to track down the offending file?

Hmm...

So I go looking for the offending file(s). I remove all the sub-directories completely then add them back one-by-one, hitting the "Look for new files" button each time. And guess what? No more errors! I managed to put all the sub-directories back, hit "Look for new files" one more time just to be sure, and the error is no longer there.

So, good news, I no longer have a problem!

But I am still left wondering what caused the initial problem. Some sort of database corruption maybe?

I only seem to get the "extension not allowed" error when trying to rename the extension of a file while keeping the same file name.

If I try to rename a file from "AAABBBCCC.JPG" to "AAABBBCCC.jpg", then I am told that the extension is invalid. Even if "JPG|jpg" are mentioned in the .htaccess file.

If, however, I rename the file from "AAABBBCCC.JPG" to "sports.jpg" then that's all good.

Posting this in case it helps anyone.
