Bug with templates: GIF exported as BMP
« on: May 03, 2010, 05:34:33 pm »
When using templates: GIF-images are exported as bitmaps, but with file extension GIF, as it seems. At least Internet Explorer (v7) only displays them when renamed to BMP. Code used to export them:
{%value=poster maxvalues="1"}
Im running version 0.9.9.21 on WinXP.

And now for something completely different  ;) (won't start another thread for this...):
In the help file under "Posters, Photos, Screenshots"-Subtemplates the parameter "imgdata" is not mentioned:
http://www.videodb.info/help/hlp_export.html
I guess you didn't leave that that out on purpose, cause it's quite necessary to have any posters exported at all with a subtemplate.

Yes, this seems to be a bug

Thx for the info. I have updated the help file.
