Robert Cailliau Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 In Affinity Photo, when I export the file extension jpeg is refused, I'm obliged to use the three letter abbreviation "jpg": Please change this, as I always use jpeg and browsers also recognise jpeg. (the 3 letter extension is a relic from the old Windows days). Quote Robert (Affinity Designer—Affinity Photo—LiveCode—Mac OS X various) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted December 14, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hi Robert, Jpeg and Jpg are interchangeable as they are both the same thing, this is something we are unlikely to change I'm afraid. You could rename the exported file to .jpeg and it will still work as expected :) C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

R C-R Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Jpeg and Jpg are interchangeable as they are both the same thing ... So why must Affinity insist on using the older three character extension instead of allowing the more modern one based on Apple's hierarchal Uniform Type Identifier classification system? It is what OS X/Mac OS uses internally by preference. Besides, they are not always treated as exactly the same thing. One example: try doing a Finder Spotlight search on ".jpg" and on ".jpeg," in each case choosing the "Name matches" option & comparing that to the results obtained with the "Kind is" one. That usually won't make a difference but it can for certain script based operations, to say nothing of the occasional app that may insist on the .jpeg extension in the same way that Affinity insists on the .jpg one. tl;dr version: choice is good. ;) Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Jpeg and Jpg are interchangeable as they are both the same thing So why must Affinity insist on using the older three character extension A good question, particularly in view of the fact that Affinity documents have even longer filename extensions!

Fixx Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 And TIF behaves exactly the opposite: Affinity insists using .tiff – .tif is not allowed. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
