Name filter and file type

Post by albesp77 »

Hi to all, i've got 2 problem with last conversion, i don't know if they are bugs:

1) I select a folder, after loading all files i write a name filter ".jpg" and software select all files that end with ".jpg" but also all files that contains simple jpeg string (ex. imajpg.gif) that i think is wrong (why "." char is not searched in string?)
2) After this wrong conversion i notice that an mp3 file (ex. musijpg.mp3) also is converted to image file, but original extension and file contents is not checked during conversion ?

Thanks for help!

RegExp is used here, so try something like

Code: Select all

the embedded jpeg thumbnail can be readed
