Hi,

I just ran into something unexpected, and I’m reaching out to see if anyone has 
a workaround.

We had students upload a picture of their work for some of the recent online 
exams.

In the grading area there is an option to return a commented version of the 
file to the student:
("Return commented version of samplework.jpg to student:”)

My colleagues took what in this case was primarily jpegs, pulled them into 
pdfs, commented
them and then uploaded.

When uploading the file keeps the same name (and file extension) as the 
originally submitted
document. One can, in retrospect, see how it is inferred in the language 
“Return commented
version of…”), but it caught us off guard.

We are now telling students to right-click, "Save Link As” and change the file 
type to .pdf.

Are we missing something? Is there a way to cleanly keep the filetype on the 
upload?

Thanks,
Mark
