File extension conversion

[rpajo]

I have already implemented the file-rename plugin and it works fine now.
Thanks for the clarification.

@rpajo Hi! What do you mean with file metadata? The mime type?

In short, if a file has mime type image/jpeg it should end up with a .jpg extension.

Hey! My uploaded .jpeg image is saved as .jpg, but in the onFileUpload callback the file extension is still set as the original .jpeg so i get the wrong path due to this extension change.

Now I get it.

This is because a new file is created ( the original file is preserved ) and sent to the server. Suppose the output is forced to image/png then the filename should change as well. But changing the original filename will cause trouble as the file encoding might be different.

I'm not sure how to fix this for now as I don't want to rename the original file.

Two quick temporary solutions:

• Use the file-rename plugin to rename the file in advance, but this could cause confusion ( as the interface will show a different name then the dropped file )
• As you're converting to image/jpeg, replace all extensions with .jpg in your onFileUpload callback.
