Hello All,

I recently installed this file browser:

[http://www.betriebsraum.de/blog/2006/01/13/download-flash-8-file-browser/](http://www.betriebsraum.de/blog/2006/01/13/download-flash-8-file-browser/)

I managed to get it running successfully, (which took some time), but now I am having one major issue: trying to accurately specify file types on a mac. If I specify file types using macType, some files of that type are mysteriously blanked out. (i.e. some jpgs work, some don’t.) HOWEVER, if I get rid of macType altogether, I can see and select all the files, but when I try to download them, I get an error saying: “illegal file types removed.” Has anyone used this application, or a similar one and had to deal with this issue? Any ideas. Please help!

Thanks!
