hi!
i found something strange but i could not test it with a fresh new installation:

if for a product i upload a file .jpeg (and not .jpg), the image uploaded will be renamed to file.jpeg.jpg and so the resized one, but automatically virtuemart in the image resized location, put the filename as .jpeg instead of .jpeg.jpg, so the image is not displayed cause of wrong filename

Hello,

Did you find a fix for this? I am also having the same problem.

Cheers,
Dave

I think I have found a fix.

Before uploading your jpeg files you must make sure that the file extension says .jpg and NOT .jpeg.

Hi! I think it is not normal.
.jpeg and .jpg have the same content inside them.
Why not to allow .jpeg extension? And process him as .jpg?

After almost 8 years problem is still here. Why just not allow to resize .jpeg files?

Yeah, you're right, I ran into this problem last week. Took a while to figure out. I already have a habit of saving as .jpg (because DOS was my first OS :D) so I haven't noticed this until now, when I instead let a team member edit some product pics for me, and he delivered them as .jpeg.

A fix would be great in case I have already forgotten about this the next time I receive files from someone else :D

Best

.jpg was simply born out of a limitation that existed by original versions of Windows or DOS that could only use a 3 letter suffix, and by default has become is actually the most common format over that of .jpeg.  I have not received .jpeg files from any of my clients for probably at least 10 years now and for my own photography, I generally use RAW and finally save as PNG-24 or .jpg

Nobody seems to have mentioned this on the forum for the last 4 years before today so I suspect it is of no importance to other VM users.  Pleease feel free to donate conversion code to the core if you feel it is important enough.

I don't see in Joomla in setup for Media for Legal Image Extensions (File Types) - "jpeg" extension.
Why do you think this is a mistake, if .jpeg don't resizing?

I would never use the jpeg extension because I know it's not in the basic settings

This is because when you add and save image, the actual file extension of thumbnail changes to .JPG, when saving to disk. And at the same time in the database the string is saved as .JPEG.
As a result, we get a link to a non-existent thumbnail.
If you open html page code and replace .jpeg with .jpg on broken link, then the image is displayed correctly. Check it out for yourself.
Isn't that a mistake?

Naming the thumbnail with .jpeg is a glitch, probably well meant but not 100% executed. Right now You have a workaround. Rename all your .jpeg files before upload to jpg.

Step by step instructions on how to get a .JPEG file in 2020:

1. Take iPhone in your right hand. Or with your left hand, if you like.
2. Take a photo of a sleeping cat or someone else.
3. Write an email and attach this photo.
4. You will get a .jpeg extension for the attached file.
5. Profit?

Or your business partners can install Bitrix as a CMS and provide you with XML export of their products.
All image files in this XML feed will be .JPEG

No need to tell me about file naming standards and glitches. Sometimes a situation arises that you cannot influence. Our developers must find a workaround to solve this problem: VM does not recognize .JPEG files. .JPG only

Is it so hard to add two lines of code?

pinochico

Sometimes yes, I think :D
