214968 - .bmp extension should be listed in Open File options

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Philip White]

Since Firebird is capable of opening bitmap files, the .bmp extension should be
included in the "Image Files" option of the Open File dialog.

Comment 2

[Philip White]

Is making this extension available sufficient for Mozilla to actually convert
the image to bitmap, instead of just renaming the extension?

Comment 3

[Ali Ebrahim]

Firefox doesn't convert anything, the image is already in bitmap (bmp) format.
This patch merely adds *.bmp to the list of files that Firefox thinks it can
open as an image in the filepicker.

Comment 4

[Philip White]

Oh, sorry, I thought this is a different bug.  (I think I also filed one to
allow Mozilla/Firefox to SAVE images as bitmaps.)

Another not-blocker with a patch that if we do want for 1.0, we need to land
before the PR. Blake or Ben, is this desirable?

Comment 6

[chris hofmann]

bienvenu will try and catch this for 1.0 final

How about updating these three lines too:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/aviarybranch/source/toolkit/locales/sl-SI/chrome/global/filepicker.properties#12
http://lxr.mozilla.org/aviarybranch/source/toolkit/locales/nb-NO/chrome/global/filepicker.properties#12
http://lxr.mozilla.org/aviarybranch/source/xpfe/components/filepicker/res/locale/en-US/filepicker.properties#10

And what about fixing this for seamonkey? I can do that, but would a separate
patch be better for that? 

Comment 10

[Jonathan Watt [:jwatt]]

err, separate bug

Comment 11

[Jonathan Watt [:jwatt]]

And how about adding *.xbm and *.ico while you're at it since mozilla supports
them too?

Closing again at the request of aebrahim. I have filed bug 254381 instead.
