CMS Made Simple Forums

I am using the uploads module in conjunction with the gallery module to let user upload photos. The issue I have is that the upload form is set up to let users change the file name on upload which doesn't take into account the original file extension. So when a user selects a file such as "canon003421.jpg" and tries to give it the name "my_picture", the file is stored as "my_picture" and not "my_picture.jpg". Is there a way for me to preserve the file extension of the original file when a user selects a new name?

I've noticed the same thing. I simply edited the explanatory text to include this: "WHEN RENAMING FILES, BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE FILE EXTENSION."

But having this handled automagically by the software would be a far better method. Shouldn't be too difficult, but I've not looked at the source yet.

I am not sure if it does it, but having it check for special characters in the filename would also be helpful.
