my friend that worked at Cisco for a decade or so and I were talking, and I was discussing my Una site with him.  
I mentioned that when you upload a photo for profile it says C:/fakepath etc..inside of an Una site......and so he said i wonder if that software runs an emulation layer.. of some kind..
we were discussing the ffmpeg.exe strangeness. no unix file should ever be called .exe ever. that is a windows issue. and as it currently stands, una cannot determine that ffmpeg.exe chmodded to 777 a+x is actually executable, unless you add .exe to the end of it.. which, breaks what i've known about unix and linux for over the last 20 years.

so these strange behaviors made me to think there is a windows emulation layer running in the una software of some sort..
