I can't speak to that because I don't know anything about it. My suggestion is that before you go looking for any more weirdness... follow the steps in the readme for configuration and troubleshooting -specifically...fixing your oversized file issue and file naming issues.
See if that doesn't solve your problem.

Re: Image Handler 3 Support Thread
thanks for the pointers - all much appreciated
Re: Image Handler 3 Support Thread
I wonder is one of you folks much more knowledgable could point to the place in the admin code where images are actually uploaded and saved - mostly the part where products images are saved.

What are you trying to accomplish?
If what you want to know is how exactly IH3 creates images....one would have to write an entire book explaining how it all works and which files do what. IH3 is a big and powerful addon...there is no 1 file that will answer your question because all the files work together. Additionally, these files work with a separate piece of software (GD libraries or ImageMagick) to accomplish what it does.
It's just not as simple as ....."where is the code that handles IH3's main function?".
If all you want is a general understanding of how IH3 works...it's in the ReadMe file...first tab.

Image Handler3 enables you to use GD libraries or ImageMagick (if installed on your server) to generate and resize small, medium and large images on the fly on page request. You can simply upload just one image or you can have different sources for medium and large images. Image Handler3 further enables you to watermark your images (overlay a second specific translucent image) and have medium or large images pop up when you move your mouse over a small image (fancy hover).
The images that IH3 creates are stored in the bmz_cache folder, located in the store root. Your original images that you upload are stored in whatever image folder or subfolder that you uploaded them to.

Nothing to do with IH, But this is why that happens
Have a look at the file extension of the pink ones notice it is jpg rather than JPG
Depending on how your server or ftp client is set up it may only recognise jpg as images and not JPG, this won't effect the working of the site, or anything like that its just an internal filter, its actauall fairly common
for instance if you use the file manager that comes with cpanel
it displays the file type of
.jpg as image/x-generic and
.JPG as text/x-generic
it won't effect your site in anyway, in your case your ftp client probably has a filter that displays known image types with a certain colour - you would probably just need to add to its definitions
Re: Image Handler 3 Support Thread
I'm not interested in where IH3 save the image I already know that.
I'm interested in the exact place in the code where the standard version of Zencart 1.39 actually saves the uploaded image. I have another project in mind and since people here are very familiar with the code I figured I'd ask here first.
thanks in advance.

Not to be a nag, but since this is NOT an Image Handler specific question, you should post it elsewhere in it's own topic..
