Suddenly my image.module started to deliver such a message:

The selected file /tmp/tmp_Th3DyT could not be copied.

I have tmp directory and it's writeble (777)

I just did a fresh install and have the same issue. I did double check the dirs to no help.
Any ideas?

I also have this problem. I have "files" and "images" in those two areas respectively.

I had the same problem.
There are two image modules, there is also one for CCK.
I disabled the CCK image module and now it's working fine.

Similar problem. Appears only when I upload image smaller images, when _original image is used for other sizes.

Code that triggers it is in image_insert. It calls _image_insert for different sizes. The first for _original, the file is moved from images/temp to images directory. But other sizes, that try to use _original file, again try to move the file from temp.

Version: 5.x-1.x-dev » 4.7.x-1.x-dev

I'm having the same problem with 4.7.x-1.x-dev with Drupal 4.7.7. The error message shows up twice when I click the submit button, but the image is uploaded properly. When I click on the preview button, I get:

* Unable to create thumbnail image
* Unable to create preview image
