Can't upload pictures : Warning! Please select a directory!

Ive recently upgraded my site to 1.4.9 I believe. Now when I got to upload an image for a product, it tells me: Warning! Please select a directory! I've changed permissions to 777, still not working. Both config files say the images are going to the right directory, mysite.com/images/
Sometimes ill get a warning to upload a smaller file, sometimes ill get a warning to select a file ( which I clearly did)
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

I've had this problem quite a lot whilst adding pictures, for myself, it sorts it self out on its own, after giving it a few minutes.
I found that if the pictures are above a certain file size can cause problems, I'm not sure what the limit is, something like 1mb I think.
If this problem doesn't sort itself out, you can try uploading the pictures via FTP.

Well, it doesn't really seem to be "working itself out" i've tried and tried, different files, again and again. I can easily FTP the images, but the site belongs to someone who is not computer savy and extra steps is not a good idea for them.

I am having the same problems. A description is found
HERE. I am hoping that if we link the two threads together, we might be able to find a few possible answers, at least.

Thought I would post a reply to this as had the same issue and resolved it, in the /admin/controller/common/ folder there is a file called filemanager.php, this is what the image manager calls when it's uploading files. Within the upload function there are these lines:
Code: Select all
$directory = rtrim(DIR_IMAGE . 'data/' . str_replace('../', '', $this->request->post['directory']), '/');
if (!is_dir($directory)) {
$json['error'] = $this->language->get('error_directory');
}
This checks the image directory to be uploaded to exists. So, to see what directory was being checked I added;
then uploaded the filemanager.php file, attempted to upload an image again and checked the directory which appeared in the json response in firebug (net tab), I found that I had deleted the data directory so the is_dir($directory) function was returning false and firing the error notification.
I hope this helps someone with this same issue.
