Re: Deleting or editing images
Hi phro
Try replacing it with a single word picture and then deleting it.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: Deleting or editing images
I've done that a few times already (see my posts #17, #18 & #25), and deleting single-word files works every time.
Oops...misread your post. Hang on...

Re: Deleting or editing images
I tried replacing the two-word file 'a b.png' (the doggy) with the same file renamed to 'ab.png', but all that happened was that I then had two doggy files: one named 'a b.png' and the other 'ab.png'.
Deleting them only deleted 'ab.png'.
MIF has already posted here and in the other thread of mine that I gave a link to, so I'm sure he's interested in this. Besides, he moderates this forum. But he said "The image functionality is a "plug-in" and I don't know enough about it to alter it."

Re: Deleting or editing images
Can't see any 'Browse' button. Did you mean 'Delete'? If so, yes...I clicked the delete button for all images every time and got the same result each time with single- and multiple-word files being treated differently.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Sorry,the button is called Choose File... I think.
All in all,the plugin is strange. Maybe I will ask MIF where he got it.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Oh, I see what you mean. You want to know how I uploaded the images.
Via Choose File in the Image Upload section.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Yes. That's the only way I've uploaded all these image files.
Also, I tried two different ways of submitting my post with an upload: with Delete either ticked or left blank for the file I wanted to delete or change. Same result for both.

Re: Deleting or editing images
So it seems there is no way to delete a multi word picture without deleting the whole post.

Re: Deleting or editing images
That's the only way I've ever done it. But then, some threads don't allow post deletion.

Re: Deleting or editing images
I don't recall that now, but within the last month I tried to delete a post and because that was rejected I just ended up editing it. The Delete button on the main page took me to the delete page, but clicking Delete did nothing.
I'm pretty sure I also came across that a year or two ago, but I have no details.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Yes,happened to me to. I think there is maybe some rule about deleting posts right after posting.

Re: Deleting or editing images
I doubt that's the reason. I've deleted several posts right after posting.
I think it's more to do with permissions or settings applied to the various forums, which for post deleting may not be global.
I just tried it with this post, and the deletion was accepted straightaway.

Maybe we could ask MIF what the reason is.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Testing a filename with two words that are joined with an underscore ('a_b.png')...
Edit 1: It loaded ok.
Edit 2: And it deleted ok too.

That happens to me a lot. You must edit before you can delete.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Oh,yeah.That worked for me as well.I usually leave something like 'a' or 'This post is going to be deleted.'

Re: Deleting or editing images
Testing a space after a single-word filename, and also an underscore after the filename...
Edit 1: Both loaded fine.
Edit 2: Only the image with the underscore deleted.

Re: Deleting or editing images
So it is not that it is multiple words,but the space that's bothering it.
EDIT:I put a space after the name and it deleted.
EDIT2:Uploading it again with spaces inside.
EDIT3:Won't delete.

Re: Deleting or editing images
Hi MathsIsFun,
Here are conclusions drawn from the tests:
An image with a space in the filename won't delete, but those with a single-word filename and those that use an underscore instead of a space will delete. There may be other replacements for a space, but I haven't tested them.
And there may be other scenarios where trying to delete an image fails...
Also, an image with a space in the filename can be replaced even if not deleted, provided the same filename is used.
