It's easy.

The client/webbrowser sets the filename.

Mozilla, among others, removes the path part of the filename.

IE sets it to the full path.


Given a file at this location:

     c:/image/logo.jpg

IE:

     c:/image/logo.jpg

Mozilla:

     logo.jpg


So to make shure that you only get the filename part of the path, you 
need to parse the path, and remove the extra fluff.

Or use the addPhoto() method in the Photo product. Which seems to do the 
right thing. Eg call "id, title = OFS.Image.cookId(id, title, file)"
