   IE save images probem
  Sometimes when I view an image in IE and I right-click save as, IE wants to save it as bmp with the name "untitled" instead of jpg with the filename on the server.WTF can I do?If anyone uses any words beginning in "mo-" and ending in "-zilla," I might just have to use the red, angry smilie.   ___________________________________________________________Where to find the intensity (Updated Feb 10, 2004)

I fully agree with APC(Black_mage_s) in this case. Toolmaker   -Earth is 98% full. Please delete anybody you can. ;  Well, if all you''re worried about is saving it as a .jpg, put it in quotes like this:"untitled.jpg" it should override whatever the default type is, in this case .bmp. ;quote:Original post by amish1234  Sometimes when I view an image in IE and I right-click save as, IE wants to save it as bmp with the name "untitled" instead of jpg with the filename on the server.WTF can I do?If anyone uses any words beginning in "mo-" and ending in "-zilla," I might just have to use the red, angry smilie.   ___________________________________________________________Where to find the intensity (Updated Feb 10, 2004)   If I recall rightly disgorging IE of its temporary internet files (IE: Deleting them), closing all Internet Exploder windows, and then reopening one in an attempt to save your image should solve the problem.  No one I''ve ever heard from has an actual fix for this beyond what I described above. (Actual fix being defined as one not involving switching to a new browser and is a longterm solution not requiring re-application);quote:Original post by fadilthrejk    Well, if all you're worried about is saving it as a .jpg, put it in quotes like this:"untitled.jpg" it should override whatever the default type is, in this case .bmp.   It will still be a bitmap file, only it will have a the wrong extension. Most MS apps (IE and Paint) will still read it though, since they examine the file header and determine it is bitmap.quote:Original post by xanin    If I recall rightly disgorging IE of its temporary internet files (IE: Deleting them), closing all Internet Exploder windows, and then reopening one in an attempt to save your image should solve the problem.

The problem stems from the cache being full and having no obvious files to delete (this results in nothing getting stored in cache, images are kept as bitmaps in memory, webpages are only stored in compiled form and so you can't view the source). For a longer term solution you should increase the cache size or decrease the number of days items are kept (IE works fairly well for dialup in its default state, but its initial cache setup does encounter this problem with broadband users who surf a lot of image heavy sites).EDIT: Changing your browser isn't always the solution. Mozilla has had its had problems with the not enough cache situation before too (see "porn banners on Gamedev?!?!") [edited by - michalson on February 18, 2004 9:47:31 AM]
