Hello,

I'm using Apache POI to read images from an xls file. Files are sent to me
from the end users. I will need to attach the image into a record in my
database based on the image file name. I have found out that the
getFileName() method in HSSFPicture class returns just the base name of the
file. It is excluding the extension. So when a user attaches a picture
"image.jpg" into the xls file the getFileName() method returns just "image".

Is there a way to get also the extension?

The getPictureData().suggestFileExtension() is not really an option because
it doesn't return the extension the file had when user attached the file
into the xls.

I have created also a StackOverflow question about this
