I am getting an error specifically in the damin when i go to Files > add files

I try to upload a jpg and i get SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character

my assets folder and cache folder have permissions.

NB: i "don't get errors" when i use the add image facility in the Tnymce content area or when i use an upload form on one of my dataobjects etc

changed Director::set_environment_type("dev"); to Director::set_environment_type("live");

and that fixed.

I tested it was that as well i cahnged it back and i got the error back.

So for some reason Director::set_environment_type("live"); is needed if you want to upload images via the built in Files > Add files facility.

Surely i'm missing something?

Whenever I get this error it's to do with permissions.

Not sure why dev/live would affect that, though perhaps live is suppressing the error. Are the files actually being uploaded properly when in live mode?
