I have found a work around, if you rename the images to a none image
extension, e.g. test.jpg becomes test.tmp. You have to select that its
an image in the next upload screen rather than a binary file. Then if
you rename the image in the Workplace it works fine.

This seams really odd to me, what is it doing when it detect its an
image file extension before you select its image at the next upload
screen.

Anyone got any suggestions?
