i had my assistant upload images for the inventory, and some of the filenames started with a "+"
+niceimage.gif
That gummed up the works. Once I modified the file names to not include the "+", everything worked fine.
Maybe the image-upload function should check for illegal or unwanted characters before allowing the upload to be successful.
I"m using the latest 1.3.7 version of zencart.
