196899 - When saving a JPEG image as "JPEG Image" but without .jpg extension, saves as text file

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 163458

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Michael McClennen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When one saves a JPEG image using "Save Image As..." and choosing file format
"JPEG Image", the file is saved correctly IF the filename ends in .jpg.  If not,
then the file is given the type "TEXT" under the Macintosh file system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a JPEG image, and choose "Save Image As..." from popup menu
2. Check that the selected format to save as is "JPEG Image"
3. Edit the filename to remove the ".jpg" extension
4. Activate the "Save" button.

Actual Results:  
The file is created, but it is of type TEXT.  The creator attribute is set
properly, and I can double-click it to get Mozilla to open it again.  But other
image-editing applications won't recognize it.

Expected Results:  
Save the file as type "JPEG" no matter whether or not the filename ends in ".jpg"

Michael, 1.2.1 is too old for bug reporting purposes. Please retest using a
current nightly build.

I just tested it on the latest 1.3 build (2003021217) for MacOS X, and the problem is still there.

This is a duplicate.  Note the status whiteboard notation.  Please do not 
confirm such bugs without a thorough search for duplicates first; if none are 
found (unlikely), say so and remove the status whiteboard notation....
