[Solved] Cannot View blob.jpg File

Post by mikeflan »

I get quite a few attached jpg files and I can open most of them. The only ones I can't open have names like this: 1643059990429blob.jpg

Double clicking on that file gives:

Code: Select all

Could not load image '1643059990429blob.jpg'.
Error interpreting JPEG image file (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x89 0x50)
I did some research and they talk about a url link, but I don't know about that. Perhaps that link is embedded?? I don't really need to see the content of these files, but I'd like to know what the deal is.

That's a PNG file, rename the extension to .png. Maybe removing the extension completely could fix the problem too.

Boy, you hit that one right on the head:

Code: Select all

$ file 1.png
1.png: PNG image data, 524 x 530, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
$
Thanks a bunch.
