Yes, Brian it it does change extensions to jpg when creating webpages and no Brian it should not. If I have a gif it is because I want a gif and *not* a jpg. Similarly if I have a png I want a png and *not* a jpg. Why? you may ask, because gifs and PNGs support transparency and JPGs do not. So when I want a transparent background I *need* a gif or a png, so please stop changing them!!
In the past there were a number of missing files reported within Legacy ie. not webpages, which turned out to be jpegs and changing to jpg corrected the problems. I haven't seen any recently so it may have been resolved with later versions, or that everyone is using jpg. Please don't bother to all write at once!

Users who have images with .jpeg as the extension dislike having the extension changed. Even though legacy does make a copy of the file with the correct for the web page extension in the pictures folder of the web pages project so if they upload the entire project folder and its picture sub-folder to their web site the pictures will work. There is the fact though that when making copies for the web pages Legacy may be converting many image format files to jpeg files (BMP, PNG, TIFF etc.) since users can link all these types to their file.
