Media showing up as Qucktime rather than .Jpg or .pdf.

I decided to run a multimedia check on my Reunion file. I was told there were over 1000 missing documents. When I check my Reunion Photos album (not iPhoto), I started finding the missing photos we're where they should be, but running the process to reconnect the documents didn't resolve more than a couple, so I started going thru them one by one and discovered that instead of showing up as .jpg, they showed up in the file as Quicktime, resulting in the mismatches. When I examined the photo it was saved as the correct type of file, but all I had to do was cllic to open on the photo I my Reunion Photo album and it quickly showed up in it's proper form.

Has anyone else encountered this? It's really frustrating, as to correct it you have to continually open and close the item, then the Multimedia report file has to go thru a slow process to update, shuts down the report and you have to go back to Reports, and reconstruct the Missing Multimedia report before moving on to the next one. I'd love to gear if someone has a better solution.

Based on the assumption that the file types of the photos was changed to .mov or equivalent: Are you changing the photos back to .jpg as you work through them? If no, you will likely have continued problems. If yes, you do not need to do one at a time. See if you have a graphics app that can batch change the file type. With such an app, you can multi select large numbers of the mislabeled files and convert back to .jpg. After you have converted, you can run the multimedia repair. (I use Graphic Converter for this and other graphics problems https://www.lemkesoft.de/en/image-ed...re-on-your-mac.)

How your condition happened, I won't speculate. Just FYI, QuickTime cannot open a .jpg file.

Yes Bob, they were all either .jpg or .pdf files. All I had to do was open them and save them and the file type was corrected. I've gone thru all of them now by just sorting by file type in my reunion Photos file, but I was curious if anyone else had encountered this. I've never had this occur before and wondered it some new bug had been introduced.
