An issue remains with selecting an appropriate file extension when uploading, with a few solutions available:
Parse mime database ourselves. There's a function in GLib to get list of active mime directories. The correct solution, but a lot of code for such a small problem. Might as well look into contributing to GLib at this point...
Use extension of originally selected file, which should produce good results in most cases.
Support PNG/JPG/TIFF and convert everything else to one of those formats during uploading - Pixbuf methods are available to do this easily.
The last two options can be exposed to end user to let them decide themselves.
We have
Gtk.FileFilter.add_pixbuf_formats()that allows to easily allow opening a wide arrange of image formats.An issue remains with selecting an appropriate file extension when uploading, with a few solutions available:
