format not understood

Can somebody please provide a working example for a table file that can be used with the upload form? I have followed closely the example shown on the website, but it doesn't work.

@knut0815 - Is this the screen that you get?

There is an unmarked box right below the file name that you can manually specify the extension (ipac in this case). After adding that, it appeared to populate the upload form properly.

@keflavich - We need to add a label for that box so it's clearer.

@e-koch thanks. Also, there is a bug introduced by recent updates to astropy that ipac tables aren't auto-recognized, so the frontpage form will now always fail - the page you screenshotted should be the default instead.

Ah I see, I have to upload the file twice. The first time it wasn't recognized that it is ipac format, but on the second upload form I can specify this. Thanks!
