I can store all pictures only as bmp-files (with the pre-set name "untitled"), whatever the originally uploaded
file is. Until recently it still was the type and name of the originally uploaded picture.
Is it a bug or a feature ? ???
 
Are you using Internet Explorer?


This is normally a recurring "feature" of this browser. to occasionally do this. It works fine in Chrome and Firefox.
 
Yes, I'm using IE here. Not a big problem, just a little bit circuitous.
It's a MS world ... ;D
 
If its your own computer, there is no excuse to not use Chrome, or Firefox.


Chrome is awesome...

Hopefully, you will be able to try some of these things without Administrator access on the computer.

Thankfully not! I have not used a Microsoft product since the 20th Century -- life has never been better. And yes, Chrome is cool and it's here to stay, with a 21% "market share" of all browsers.
 
At least here in Germany most governmental and bigger organisations are using
MS products, so avoiding them isn't easy.
