I don't seem to be able to upload photographs anymore.

I normally:
I use Fetch to upload.
Then I go to Batch Add Files.
Pic the folder I have uploaded to.
It normally automatically selects the ones that are new with a tick box.
I press ok and it uploads them.

I deleted one file as the thumbnail was missing (the Admin Tools of recreating thumbnail did not work), I thought by reloading it I could recreate the thumbnail and new image.
I got as far as Batch Add File, selected the Directory, pressed OK and I was greeted by:

Only files with the following extensions are accepted :
jpg/jpeg/jpe/gif/png/bmp/jpc/jp2/jpx/jb2/swc/iff/asf/asx/mpg/mpeg/wmv/swf/avi/mov/mp3/midi/mid/wma/wav/ogg/psd/doc/txt/rtf/pdf/xls/pps/ppt/zip/gz/mdb.

Which means as much as mud to me, any idea why it has done that? This database stuuf is  beyond my comprehension, I'm surprised I got this far - I have the debug report but it is longer than the allowed 25000 words by this board.

Solved. After trawling through the uploaded folder I discovered a rogue file called 'desktop' - as this didn't have an appropriate prefix, the upload failed, once removed all worked properly again.
