#1638 closed defect (obsolete)

Browse.xo mangles filenames during upload

Reported by: martin.langhoff Owned by: lucian
Priority: Unspecified by Maintainer Milestone:
Component: Sugar Version: 0.84.x
Severity: Unspecified Keywords: dextrose
Cc: Distribution/OS: OLPC
Bug Status: Assigned

Description

This may be an issue with the Journal/DS interaction rather than a pure Browse.xo issue.

On 0.84.9 with Browse-108

  • from the commandline, create a file, for example a patch: foo.patch
  • use copy-to-journal to add it to the journal -- or copy it to a mounted USB disk
  • open Browse, login to dev.sugarlabs.org
  • try to upload the patch to a bug

Expected: preserved filename (or titlename), reasonable extension. Something similar to what we do when copying from the DS to an external USB disk.

Actual result: tmpXYZ1234

There are two reasons why this is important:

  • I do use Sugar to develop Sugar -- want to be able to upload patches sanely.
  • Webapps do rely on the names and extensions provided (with due care of sanity-cleanup of spurious chars). This affects our friendly Moodle, heart of the XS.

BTW, it is always desirable to _improve_ the integration using the info in DS to tell Browse.xo about the mimetype.

But extensions should be addressed first and foremost -- almost all webapps ignore the mimetypes set on POST and do some extension matching & content sniffing.

These issues were already tracked and maybe also fixed. If we can find those, we may be able to just backport the fixes.

Browse will correctly add a png extension when uploading a screenshot but not if the journal already has a .extension in the entry
Screenshot of "foo" uploads as screenshot of "foo".png
but
Screenshot of "foo.ta" uploads as screenshot of "foo.ta"

It seems this is deliberate: http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/browse/repos/mainline/blobs/master/filepicker.py#line165

So far, the best solution I can think of is always appending mime_extension. We could have a database of which extensions not to append to, like "jpg" vs "jpeg", but that may be too long a regex.

Seeing as any fully correct solution is too complicated, I'm opting for saving functionality, at the possible expense of a few weird names (bla.jpg.jpeg), at least for now.

If a better solution comes along later, even better.

The Browse side is fixed with http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/browse/repos/mainline/commits/09f60ccc1b6bb5fdfc83120db8a8c823f588cc6e

For the file name to be preserved, the DS would need to be fixed.

  • Component changed from Browse to sugar
  • Milestone changed from Unspecified by Release Team to 0.94

Changing to sugar, due to the fact that browse part is addressed.
