OK so this is the most noob question ever but I cant seem to find an answer?

so I have a .jpg file in my documents folder I want to upload to photobucket or my space. so I go to the web site click up load and a widow pops up asking me what file I want to up load. so I select the folder and It show as empty not file. so I double check all the usual such as right extension and not hidden etc but It still don't show. is this some sort of safety feature of the browser?

Assuming that you really are looking at the right folder and the file format is accepted it should work. I've uploaded numerous pictures to place like photobucket and imageshack without any problems.

I'd say just double check and make sure that you're really looking at the folder that you think you are.

so i moved the file to the desktop, and still the same problem.
i used gmail compose mail and try to attach the file to a email this works.
but its when the window is requesting a type of file like *.jpg i can see it

No, you shouldn't have any problems at all sharing pictures between the 2 operating systems.

Back when I was dual booting this system with mint and windows XP I had a common data partition that I saved all files to so that I could access them from either operating system and never had a problem.

I wonder if maybe when you re-saved the file gimp changed the format to something that the site that you where uploading to would allow?

Either way I'm glad that you got it to work.
