I'm getting an error that just says "Problem copying original"

It seems to happen sporadically.  

Help?

Hi

Are you on Mac ?

I've had this problem, untill I noticed cyberduck upload some file labeled .filename.jpg

Theses files are 4kb sized and are useless on your web server, so you can, normally, delete them

Hi !

I got the same error. I'm working with MAMP on mac (local). I first tried the free version and got the black thumbnails issue. Bought the pro and get the "Problem copying original"...

Any help, the team ?? Thanks !!

(I checked the php.ini memory allocation. It's set to 20 Mo)

hehe... solved ! My pictures were not properly JPEGified.... don't know why. Anyway, it works great !

Could you clarify what you mean by "My pictures were not properly JPEGified"?

I have a number of galleries on my site, but two pictures produce the "problem copying original" error message in the thumbnail view of the gallery. If they are the last image to display in thumbnail view, all others show. If they are not the last, no thumbnails after the problem image are shown (in thumbnail view, or if gallery is launched).

These pictures will open in any viewer program I use, so I am stumped.

Any help is greatly appreciated

I should have stated that I am using SIG Pro version 2.04

Has anyone figured this one out yet???

I am about to give up this plugin because it seems sooo unreliable to me - never know what to expect. Its great when it works but I am using it for a site now and I randomly get the error: "Problem copying original" and the article only displays some of the pictures, it doesn't show all of them... All the pictures have the same extension .jpg and technically everything is right but the plugin is not reading the folders right, this problem is happening with several different folder. I have encountered other issues such as not ordering the images by alphabetical order when its supposed to and its becoming a major frustration. I hope there's a solution to this error showing up when there's nothing wrong with the images.

Help please - sincerely i am not very satisfied with this plugin after paying for it.

I had the problem, used what potdeyahourt said and looked at my hidden files. It turned out that I had hidden image files ._picturefilename.jpg. I didn't need those and as soon as I deleted them, my problem went away. I also had a hidden ._labels file as well. I opened that and it was pretty illegible but for some reason (and I have been using this FTP program) it said Cyberduck in it. Totally strange. I don't know if it's a bug in cyberduck or something else (I'm going to have to do some messing around). But I was able to, at least temporarily, remedy the problem. And if this happens again I will definitely be looking to see if I got those funky hidden files again.

Please update to the latest version and provide me with a url to your site please.

yep, the plugin looks promising and powerful but with this bug, it become totally useless
