.jpg extension not recognized
When I am prompted to upload a picture (irrelevant of website), the dropdown menu only lets me choose between .jpeg and .png. I have never seen an image with .jpeg extension in 20+ years though.
Can you change this please? Just a little quality of life improvement.

Looks to work here.

This sounds a lot like being website-relevant. Examples are needed.LuftWafflePilot wrote: ↑2024-02-06, 09:06When I am prompted to upload a picture (irrelevant of website)...

Re: .jpg extension not recognized
A .jpeg file is exactly the same as a .jpg file. Simply change the extension on your file to ".jpeg" (or copy it that way if you wish) and upload it that way. It should definitely work.

It's definitely something about PM.

Re: .jpg extension not recognized
You probably do not have a mime type registered in your system for the "jpg" extension, or the "jpg" extension is not registered at all.
At the same time, Firefox can add some file types in addition to the system list.

(Don't worry, we'll get there.)
That is not the point, or to be expected.Simply change the extension on your file to ".jpeg"

Re: .jpg extension not recognized
As already mentioned: JPEG=JPG
JPG: derived from old DOS-based computers which could handle maximum 3-character file extensions.
So far all this thread is about nothing.

Re: .jpg extension not recognized
No one in this thread claims there's a substantial difference between jpg and jpeg. It is not the point of this thread. Please read it more carefully.

Re: .jpg extension not recognized
May I ask you how many digits has the HTML extension?LuftWafflePilot wrote: ↑2024-02-07, 17:14Who gives a shit, three digit file extensions are the norm to this day.
BTW, the picture you posted has the JPEG TrueColor (v1.1) format.

Right. You are paying zero attention. And no, jpg and jpeg are not identical. 3-letters vs. 4-letters is not identical.gepus wrote: ↑2024-02-07, 18:33Substantial difference???

Re: .jpg extension not recognized
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... input/file
By default (in their example), they are allowing "image/png" & "image/jpeg".
The latter allows both .jpeg & .jpg (& more).
If you were to change it:
then for a "jpg" file, only .jpeg is offered (& not .jpg).
So...
On the site in question - which we still do not know, how do they code things?
And then, why are there different reactions to that code between PM & FF?

Re: .jpg extension not recognized
It depends on how your system has MIME types registered. for example, because I have .jpg MIME types registered to Paint Shop Pro, it will tell me "Paint Shop Pro image (*.jpg)" in the dialog box. In your case it seems only the raw MIME type strings are available, and it's therefore not registered properly in your O.S.
I don't know why Firefox displays something different -- perhaps they are defaulting to certain strings if the MIME type does not resolve.

Re: .jpg extension not recognized
Can you two please STOP nitpicking over .jpg vs .jpeg file extensions? Thanks.

Re: .jpg extension not recognized
Looked into a bit of this because it also fails for me quite frequently, but not in the same way. video/mpeg doesn't seem to exist even though it's all set right in the registry, image/jpeg only has .jpg even though .jpe and .jpeg both have Content Type values, etc... Found this stackoverflow question that points to nsExternalHelperAppService.cpp, and contains a defaultMimeEntries array that does not seem to be applying correctly or something.
