KarenC Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Since upgrading to 3.31 I can't save files in any other format than what they were orginally. My website will only recognize jpg's and gif's so I used PDN to "convert" tiff's or eps's in order to upload them on the site. Although the program goes through the process of saving as a gif or jpg or other format, they do not appear in the folder. When I close the file and then try to select it from the "open recent" files it is listed without an extension and I get an error message that says: "The image type is not recognized and cannot be opened." :?

Simon Brown Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Try creating a new PNG image with Paint.NET and then closing. Attempt to open it. Does this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenC Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Actually, the problem seems to be with the file name. I generally name my files the creation date using a numeric format ie: 05.06.08. The new PDN does not seem to like this. When I changed the name of the file using alpha characters it works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HITMAN-X- Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 the problem is the dots in that format. It thinks it a file format called .06.08. Quote DEXTUT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becauseilearn Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 the problem is the dots in that format. It thinks it a file format called .06.08. There are a few solutions, the best one being to use an underscore instead of a period. Another would be to explicitly denote the filetype in the filename after entering the date. Those are probably the simplest ways. Not using periods would be preferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
