WebYep trick with JPEGs

This isn’t any help with my transparency issue, but I did find a subtle wrinkle to do with the way WebYep processes images.

I have a WebYep image block set on a page, scaled to a particular size. When I upload an image named in this way:

[imagename].jpg

then it is scaled to fit the image block size. In the case of the items I was using, this meant being scaled up slightly.

However, when I used an image named in THIS way:

[imagename].jpeg

(note “jpeg” rather than “jpg”), the image isn’t scaled; it is used at the original pixel size. That’s the behaviour I’ve observed, anyway.

I’m guessing this is actually a bug, but I’m really loathe to mention it to OBD as it is a very useful one! :-)

Hi Keith yes I can see what you mean and yes I can see how this could be of use as it gives a choice of how the image is controlled after it has been set within the action.
