Hi,
After upgrading Hikashop from 2.6.2 to 2.6.3, adding a file to a product by specifying file location doesn't work.
It constantly shows **Error - File does not exists**.
Even when I try to just re-save already added file it shows the same error. The file exists (i.e. **images/datasheets/batteries....**) and there is no problem downloading it from the front-end product page.

Hi,

We've added security checks to the file paths. So there must be a problem with the file paths you're using.
If you edit a file what do you have in the edition popup ? Could you do a screenshot ?
Make sure that the screenshot displays the full path or provide it so that we can look at it.

Hi,

You're supposed to write there the path from the upload secure folder root. By default it's in media/com_hikashop/upload/safe/
So please check the setting in the configuration, and then check that your files are in media/com_hikashop/upload/safe/images/datasheets/etc...
or adapt the upload secure folder setting to match what it is supposed to be.
