Hey,
I am trying to open a series of thumbnail images created by my WDTV device. The device creates these files automatically in various sizes with different extensions:
THUMB_73X104
THUMB_99X138
THUMB_114X161
THUMB_126X178
THUMB_138X138
THUMB_160X160
THUMB_176X261
The files themselves are nothing special, just jpeg jfif.
First few bytes of every file is identical and how I knew they were jpeg: ÿØÿà JFIF
If I rename the extension to jpg, paint.net has no trouble recognizing and opening the files.
IE, MS Paint and MS Image Viewer have no trouble opening and showing the files regardless of the extension. (However I would sooner poke forks in my eyes than use these programs)
I assume paint.net is relying on the extension, not the file contents, to determine what type of file it is opening. Is there any way I can "teach" paint.net to treat these specific extensions the same way it handles *.jpg ?
PS I love paint.net, been using it for years, sent money a couple times. I'm a paint.net evangelist, spreading the good word.
