[Bug 878472] Re: Shotwell Viewer can't open files without file ending

 

http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/3469 is Error 404.

For me this is a very big problem.

When I import photos from Google Drive they often don't have a file
extension but the unique file string as the name.

I have potentially deleted hundreds of thousands of photos I thought
successfully imported.

At the very least, it should notify you of XXX photos or other files
without extensions were not imported.

Title:
  Shotwell Viewer can't open files without file ending

Status in Shotwell:
  Confirmed
Status in shotwell package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu: Oneiric 64-Bit up-to-date
  Unity: 3D
  Shotwell: 0.11.2

  What you expected to happen:
  When double clicking a file that has no file ending with Shotwell Viewer it should detect the image type and open it accordingly.

  What happened instead:
  "Shotwell does not support the file format of /home/[USER]/Pictures/testImage."

  'file testImage' in terminal:
  testImage: PNG image data, 256 x 256, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
