--- Comment #13 from [email protected] --- Just to summarize (got a bit off-track up there): 1.We would maintain a list of accepted mime types and their preferred file extension. 2.Files would automatically receive an extension based on their mime type. 3.Files that are uploaded with known extensions that do no match would be renamed after a prompt ("Renaming to 'Dog.gif'. Do you wish to continue?") 4.File names would not be otherwise modified. If a file is named "dog.gif.png" and it is a JPEG, it would be renamed "dog.gif.jpg". If it was named "dog.gif.cat", it would be uploaded as "dog.gif.cat.jpg". For the purposes of this bug, the only things that would have to be modified are the file uploader, and file renaming/moving. This would not change how files are displayed or used, or even the nature of the filename. File redirects could still be manually created at these other extensions. It would just reduce the options at the time of upload, and potentially make other bugs easier to fix in the future. Is there anyone willing to theorize on how doable this is as a bug? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
