Yeah, I do get, that this is a reasonable easy enough thing to do

The first result I get from your link is a bash script, that wouldn’t do this stuff automatically.

So I would be interested where you got this extension installed and in what parts of the system it is actually working.

So does this work as well, wenn die rename a file in a shell?
Which I would find rather strange, tbh, but would be interested, how that is implemented

As extension of a file browser, I do get that this could be quite popular.

Could you just try that one case out?

Hm…ok, never heard of that - at least not without extra programs

Does that also work from the terminal or only inside your file browser?

Because, as said, Linux usually doesn’t care that much about suffixes, but much more about the file type in the file header.
At least that’s my experience and what I’ve read.

But thanks for the info.
Not sure, if I’d like to have it though or rather not ;⁠-⁠)

Edit: and out of interest, what happens, when you rename it to something “near” like an svg or pdf, or something completely different like a mp3 - or interesting would also be a video format, if you only get a single frame then
Thanks, I’ve never heard of that and would really like to know what does it and how it’s coping with things, that aren’t compatible - or are harder to convert

Thank you very much!

Thanks, maybe it’s my client that’s limited.

But, Ehm … Regarding the Linux part:
Just renaming a file shouldn’t convert it to something else - at least Linux isn’t doing that, especially as it doesn’t cares that much about file suffixes.
So what do you mean, that automatically converts it?
If you rename something in the terminal, it just gets a different name (which includes the suffix), but that won’t change anything in the data

What do I miss here?

Thanks for the pixelfed hint, I just signed up while posting, to have an alternative in the future :⁠-⁠) And especially thanks for the Lemmy markdown formatting to embed an image!
That one was the thing, I was looking for!

Edit: and worked perfectly fine the embed the image from postimg - you just need to use the direct image link
At least it shows fine in the comment on my side now

I’m having the perfect T-shirt for him

Btw: I couldn’t upload the picture to Lemmy directly, as it’s probably too large for my instance limits. But I’m not sure which image sharing platform is still ok to use (after imgur) and I’m even more stuck in how to embed the linked image correctly in a comment, besides just linking to it.
What’s the correct way to do this?

Trying to embed the image:

What is up with three recent useless censoring of normal words?
Who the fuck thinks, that 'Nazi" needs to be censored?
Well, as a word. The people themselves are a different topic…

Not of you need to wait for ever for an update to finish during shutdown, when you just want to pack up your laptop and finally leave the work site - and afterwards it somehow needs the same time to boot up again, because it’s preparing out finishing something, without ever telling you, what the hell it’s actually doing all the time

And usual reboot only takes like 20s, you’re right there, but not with a windows update blocking a normal shutdown or startup
