Feature Request: LaTeX Unknown Graphics Extension #12

Closed rbreslavsky closed 1 year ago

rbreslavsky commented 1 year ago

When generating a report, LaTeX does not look for the last period/dot when looking for an image file extension. For instance, image1.png would be processed normally as a ".png" file, but image.1.png would be assessed as a ".1.png" file, resulting in a LaTeX error.

To allow for more user flexibility, could we consider a switch from the graphicx package to grffile?

Does grffile require any other changes for compatibility? It sounds like that could be pretty easy as long as most people are likely to have grffile.

rbreslavsky commented 1 year ago

Actually, looking at this more closely, the problems I was having could simply be due to an old version of texliv. grffile was a workaround a few years back, but may no longer be needed. Let's hold off on any implementation until I have time to try this with a newer version of texliv.

I think we can close this for now.
