I'm running into a slight problem. I've set up JPG as a testable file type 
as such:

File Extension        JPG
Command Line          mogrify -resize 480x272! %f
Working String        Resizing image for PSP screen...
Access Requirements   DIR PSP-IMG

Everything works fine as long as the user uploads the image file with their 
telnet client. The problem is most of my users use FTP. When an image is 
uploaded via FTP the command is not being executed. Out of curiosity I tried 
setting JPG as an extractable file type with the same command line and it 
would execute as long as I removed the DIR PSP-IMG access requirement. I 
can't do that because it would resize uploaded images in all directories.

In doing some other FTP uploading tests it appears that Testable file type 
commands are being ignored if the file was uploaded by FTP. For example, I 
add comments to MP3 files that are uploaded. They appear if the MP3 was 
uploaded via Telnet but not by FTP.

As an alternative I tried to set the image resizing as a Download Event 
instead. Again, same result... works when downloading via telnet but not 
FTP.

Any ideas on a solution or is this something requiring a source code update?
