Forum:Uploading My ODG and PNG Files

I have two stages - original and displayable - of this image (all of which I authored) on my hard drive. The original is an ODG and the displayable is a PNG; when I upload either of them, I receive this message:
 * " The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again. "

I tried re-saving the PNG in the GIMP multiple times, thinking the problem was that it originated from an ODG. Each time, I removed a factor which might cause MediaWiki to consider it corrupted (meta data and the fact that I had highlighted it), but it didn't improve. I then uploaded the XCF (GIMP prototype image) successfully; with renewed hope, I tried the ODG and it failed.

So what am I doing wrong? Better yet, what can I do right? Thanks! --Jesdisciple (talk) 19:09, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * You can use the WMU bug to try to upload the file again. You could upload whatever type of file you want. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 19:50, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I got strange results with that. I tried the ODG first but got a JavaScript alert, "File type verification error!" (before getting the chance to change the extension).  Then I tried the PNG; when it passed the initial test, I decided to not change the extension just to see if it would work legitimately - and it did.


 * The PNG is really all that needs to be uploaded, but I was hoping to put the ODG up as well for the sake of openness. But at least the XCF worked, which is the GIMP's native format.
