K2 item - pdf attachment was created by Udi Tiran
Hi,
It's great to see K2 getting updated.

I'm using K2 v2.10.1 and i thing there is a problem with item attachment.
When adding a PDF file, the file is being uploaded to media/k2/attachments but it is being changed from xxx.pdf to xxx.txt
This is also how it appears in the k2 item after the upload.
As a result, the file can't be opened on the front-end.
I have tested with several PDF files - same result.

Thank you

It's doing this to me too. On three different sites with K2 installed. ANY pdf uploaded as an attachment to a K2 article is having it's filename changed to .txt... HELP!

Just FYI, this is not fixed in the new version x.2 that was just released. I updated, tried it and it still rewrites the title as .txt

Your issues boil down to MIME detection problems on your server, perhaps broken libs use by the system to determine file types.

As a way to bypass the issue for now, use the "browse server" option in the attachments to upload any files and then select them to use them.
