texte = Ian,When you say WebSTAR has 100MB of RAM and WebCatalog has 50MB does that mean you are using the acgi? If so, I wonder if it would be worth giving it a go with the plug-in?I have done a fair amount of experimenting with 4.01 image file uploads (plug-in with WebSTAR 4.2). Of the hundreds of image files I have uploaded (sizes up to about 125K over a LAN) the only ones that have given me any problem were progressive JPEGs.The progressive JPEGs seem to make weird things happen, one of the most frustrating being the new tags for the [FileInfo] context, [ImageHeight] and [ImageWidth], return strange results such as *negative* image widths.But as far as the file uploading itself goes with straight JPEGs and GIFs, I have been very pleased.Cheers.
