[opencms-dev] Importing .swf (Flash) file into ImageGallery - Is there another way?

[Claus Priisholm]

There is a snippet of code related to the image gallery which makes 
sure that you only view GIF's or JPEG's from the image gallery 
popup-window.

I am puzzled why that filtering happens at all, and if some kind of 
filtering is needed, it should probably be based on what is considered 
image types rather on a couple of file extensions.
I had the problem with png's,so I removed the seemingly superfluous 
check from the source, and that has not caused any problems so far, but 
of course you can upload stuff that would kind of ruin the image 
gallery popup-window.

I don't have the code available right now, but it is fairly easy to 
find it in the source - just search for "jpeg". I got away from the 
topic, so I never got around to submit it to the bugtracker, so the 
problem is still in 5.0.1.
