Bug #: 29884
Summary: Gallery default filename caption removes unnecessarily
removes filename extension
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: SemanticResultFormats
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
On line 66 of SRF_Gallery.php the filename extensions are removed for no good
reason. I assume this was done with the thinking that a properly named file
would eliminate the need for a caption, so when the filename is used as the
default caption, the file extension would seem out of place.
But...
Most of the time filenames are nonsensical AND they can't be renamed. So,
without the file extension, it is confusing. There is no reason to do this work
by default, and so this feature should be removed unless there's some good
reason for the bug-fixer to choose to make it an OPTION (not the default).
I suspect that it may also be related to the cause of this bug, where turning
off autocaptions does not work:

By the way, not having a complete file name could complicate other tasks that
might try to use data from Semantic Results Format.
