My only friend and ally is the macOS standard Image Capture app which writes scanned files with the .jpeg extension.
I’m guessing this could even be a NeXT leftover because Image Capture is ancient. The .jpeg extension was more popular on 1990s Unix.
- veidr 3y agoI think almost all Apple apps do this, e.g. Photos.app. Which is super-annoying, even though I agree with in in theory. But generally the only reason I am writing an image to .jpg is to email it to somebody or upload it to some web app and that principled .jpeg filename extension certainly isn't helping compatibility..
