My image files are missing the .jpg extension and cannot be opened
Hey
About 3 weeks ago I wanted to organize the folder "camera upload". I created new folders 2009, 2010, 2011 and so on, made a search for every single year e.g 2010 and moved the pictures to ...

That looks like whatever uploaded them didnt add the extension to the files. A rename to include .jpg at the end should work.

Hey Mark
I have tried it, but it is not working (if I´m doing it correctly)
Can I rewind the map, so that the pictures will be replaced in the originally folder "camera uploads"?

What does one of the complete filenames look like after you've renamed them?

It looked like this:
after some time, I was able to open the picture. My problem now is, that I have quite a lot of files that needs to be renamed .JPG. It there a easy way out?
Many files have the same date but but a different time e.g
so I can´t just rename file no. 2 2018-12-24.JPG because it then will be a copy of the first. Hope that make sence:).

Hey Kathrine3!
Have you taken a look at our naming conventions or automation options?
They might suit your needs, and you might be able to adjust the files, and make them work.
If this doesn't work out for you, then I'm afraid you'd need to individually rename the files.
