Removing .gif extensions from multiple files
Hello, I'm having problems with file extensions on my images in Zope. Currently, I'm creating images on my Mac, then using Anarchie to FTP them into place in Zope on our Linux server. This works fine. But I don't want my images to have file extensions (.gif, .jpg), because there are Python / period problems when I call my images using <dtml-var imageName>. But if I remove the extensions prior to FTPing them into place, Zope doesn't recognize them as images, rather as generic files. So I have to get Zope to think of 'imageName' as a gif. Several solutions present themselves, in order of attractiveness: 1. I could have Zope rip '.gif' or '.jpg' extensions off all images in a certain directory. 2. I could have Zope convert all generic files in a certain directory to images of type 'gif'. 3. I could have Zope do the FTPing itself, _from_ a place, and wish fervently that file-type would somehow be communicated. 4. I could opt to not use <dtml-var imageName>, and thus avoid the Python / period problems. This is a crappy solution. This seems like a really basic kind of issue, so I feel like I'm missing something obvious. I mean, everybody has to get images into directories, right?
