The coding I use to upload images ends with .jpg. Those images eventually wind up on VAMWorld as an external posting. However, the D750 produces images with a file extension that ends with .jpg.
Does anyone know how the D750 can be programmed to create .jpg file extensions?
I'd appreciate any input you can provide.
Thanks, Rod.

I have the same situation with my D90.
What I do is edit the .jpg (crop, etc.) with Photoshop and then do a Save AS and select the .jpg format.
That solves the problem.
But if you post a .jpg image, as long as you keep the extension in that form it works also.
Saves a heck of a lot of editing.

.jpg and .jpg are the exact same thing.
You can't name a file, for example, x.jpg and x.jpg in the same folder because the operating system (at least Windows) thinks they are they exact same file name.

I think it depends on what operating system you are using. From what I've read, Linux is case sensitive with file names/extensions. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1372695Apparently, when linking to a file, the file name and linking code should be the same case or you get a broken link.

VAMWorld has files with both the .jpg and .jpg, so it apparently does not matter to them.

The oddity with Windows is that you cannot rename a file from .jpg to .jpg, it sees it as no change. I've been successful renaming them to .x and then to .jpg.

I wish to thank all of you for your response; they were very helpful. I appreciate it.
Right now I'm using the PicMonkey program and to my knowledge, that program doesn't offer any way to rename a file from JPG to jpg. Photoshop or GIMP might be a good alternative to PicMonkey.

Some of the desktop software, including apps, might not have accounted for extension capitalization. (such as .jpg and .jpg are treated as same). As mentioned above, other than Linux, most all operation systems treat extensions in lower case. (similar to your email addresses. You can type capital letters, but they are treated as lower case letters) This can be from a software bug, less than in-depth thinking, or possibly done for the use in Linux, although Linux programs are usually written for Linux platform. So, if you have issues of duplicate names, which happened to me before, I would just save with a different name, such as filename.jpg to filename1.jpg, then either delete .jpg file or move to a directory, then rename filename1.jpg to filename.jpg. BTW, your avatar made me though that I commented already... good choice  Edited by Coconutjoe
