SC Now Exports to PNG format on our JPG images

[TravisAtSP]

Something we've noticed. 

 

1. Upload a JPG Image to Super Container
2. SC stores and delivers as JPG with RawData URL
3. When specifying width and height dimensions it then renames the file to "file_jpg.png" and is a png

Is there anyway to keep the original file format? 

 

This seems to be new behavior. We just recently upgraded to SC 2.896. I can reproduce this in the chrome browser so it's not a FileMaker issue.

For a RawData URL, SuperContainer will return the original image with its original dimensions, but when you set a width and height, you are telling SuperContainer to shape the image into a certain size. SuperContainer server responds by creating a thumbnail of the image with the specified dimensions, and when SuperContainer creates a thumbnail, it creates a .png file. This is just the method we use to generate the thumbnail.

 

We could probably do a better job with the filename though. Having a file named "X_jpg.png" isn't very nice looking.

Thanks for the explanation.  I think it was more of the unexpected format and name change. It caused some concern that it might break any of our past links.
