Why is photos 5.0 changing image extension from jpg to jpeg when exporting?
It never used to force jpeg extensions on files that had jpg but now it is forcing all exported images to be .jpeg.
In the photos program it shows the image with the original format, it only changes it on export and there is no option that I can see in export to keep original file extension or original file format in the case where the original image was a tiff or bmp.
The scenario is that I have photos which are online in a wordpress site, the images are located in a folder on my external drive which is automatically synced to the online server and I often use photos to open the images for minor tweaks, adding keywords, descriptions etc then I export them back to the folder overwriting the original which is automatically mirrored to the web server. nice and easy..
This is what I have done for years and never had a problem until recently after updating to Catalina.
Previously photos aIways saved as expected with the original . jpg extension if that is what the original image was however lately photos is forcing all exported .jpg to be .jpeg which is causing big problems by creating additional images with . jpeg extension instead of overwriting the original .jpg extension as needed. This is then causing additional problems with the online images after they sync as it is not updating my online images as I require it to do and of course online links go to the original .jpg extension.
So my question is first of all WHY is it changing the extension when it never used to before?
and second question is there some option I can adjust that I don't know about to preserve the original jpg file extension?
