Parsing species names is failing

With these recent uploads, I am dragging and dropping directly from within the iPhoto image collection.

i don’t have any problems loading using your filenames. so drag and drop from iPhoto seems to be the likeliest factor that leads to the problem. it may be worth looking at the photo page of one of your photos uploaded via your new method to see what is the filename recorded there. (it’s possible that the filename that you get when you drag and drop from iPhoto does not reflect the actual filename of the underlying file.)

other than that, this seems to be the best guidance for now:

@tiwane

Are you using iPhoto, or Photos (which is what iPhotos turned into)? I would pretty much always recommend exporting photos from Photos to your computer (I usually export photos to my desktop), then uploading them. Dragging and dropping from directly from iPhotos/Photos is something that I’ve seen cause issues for other users.
