Centrifuge tube graduations

Updated Inkscape has the same problem.  I think Julianf is onto something there though!

Agh, slow typing on my part again!  I think the converter may be my only of exporting files from now on!

Julian, now you have it as a .png, would you mind uploading it to the wiki please?

Tried, and failed -

Error creating thumbnail: convert: unable to open image `/var/www/biopowered/w/images/thumb/0/08/Centrifuge-graduations_50%%.png/445px-Centrifuge-graduations_50%%.png': No such file or directory @ blob.c/OpenBlob/2480.

How did you try to upload?  This should be the method (sorry if I'm teaching my Grandmother to suck eggs) ...

You need the pictures on your computer.  Give them a descriptive name (not, for example, what a camera names them ).  Log on to the wiki and go to "Upload file" in tool box on the lefthand side of the page.

Click "Browse" and locate the photo on your computer in the new window and double click it.  Click "Upload file" and the job's done.

When it's uploaded you will have a screen withyour uploaded photo and above it "File:Your file name.jpg"  Use the "File:Your file name.jpg" to put the photo on your page.

From the look of the error message, were you uploading direct from your PC?

yep, did all as you said, got the error code pasted above : (

[julianf]

hmm... just tried again, and getting -

A file with this name exists already, please check File:Centrifuge-graduations 50%.png if you are not sure if you want to change it.

...and then in the preview pane (which i assume is supposed to show the previously uploaded file?) -

Error creating thumbnail: convert: unable to open image `/var/www/biopowered/w/images/thumb/0/08/Centrifuge-graduations_50%%.png/180px-Centrifuge-graduations_50%%.png': No such file or directory @ blob.c/OpenBlob/2480.

its just the thumnail creation that's throwing the error, as here is the link to the full size file -

and the file -

Oh, I had a play whilst you were having a play.  I tried uploading a copy I downloaded to be told the file already existed.  Found the file but it was just a grey box with the error message.  So I deleted it ... let me try again.  I'm wondering if having attached it to a post has messed things up.

[Julian]

That seems to have done it ... http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/File:Centrifuge-graduations.png

No idea what went wrong other than the wiki had already stored a copy when you attached it to your post.  Then trying to upload the same photo caused an issue.  Don't know ... all a bit beyond me.

Thanks anyway, Julian.

Those errors are a touch worrying as it should have just worked for JF.

Could JF having a % sign in the name have any effect?
