i've got this error("." is not a recommended image file format.) almost 2 times,while uploading an image: *wile uploading png a screenshot on wikipedia,or even it's jpeg(gimp) converted version *wile uploading tux.png(http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Tux.png) in wikicities(now renamed to wika) to the game-info wiki software used in order to create the screenshot: *ksnapshot *gimp *gentoo linux i'd like to send the image but there is no such thing in this bugzilla by the way here is the web page code for the bug: <div id="content"> <a name="top" id="top"></a> <h1 class="firstHeading">Upload file</h1> <div id="bodyContent"> <h3 id="siteSub">From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</h3> <div id="contentSub"></div> <div id="jump-to-nav">Jump to: <a href="#column-one">navigation</a>, <a href="#searchInput">search</a></div> <!-- start content --> <h2>Upload warning</h2> <span class="error">"." is not a recommended image file format.</span> <div class="printfooter"> Retrieved from "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload</a>"</div> <!-- end content --> <div class="visualClear"></div> </div> </div>
Unable to reproduce this uploading the same image with an identical filename to a 1.7alpha test wiki.
that is strange because it makes me that even with *downloading http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Tux.png with wget *uploading with konqueror (the previous post was 100% firefox) what os and setting do you use? i'll try tomorow on another computer with windows...
the solution was: name the file tux.jpg instead of tux why this error: in unix files can be reconised witout caring an extention
