Attaching files.

Postby jonbar.1 » Mon Apr 11, 2022 1:17 pm

Go on I give up!
I have a folder with some pics( jpegs).
I wanted to send one by email.( Outlook)
I clicked on "Attach" then " browse this computer".
The reduced folder appears with all the pics EXCEPT the one I want to send :think:
To double check: I closed Outlook and re-opened the picture folder.Sure enough the jpeg in question is still there!
How can it be in the folder,yet not be there when I want to attach it?
This has happened to two files,recently added to the folder.
If I do it the other way round: right click the pic then select "share" I can then email it.
(It may be useful to know that the two offending files were the reults of some "tinkering": one in "Paint" and one in "Gimp").
Any answers would fascinate me :thumbup:
Cheers : JB

Hi jonbar.1

Outlook blocks certain file extensions.............

All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.

Thankyou Enrique.
Thanks for your rapid response, and the link, which was useful. :thumbup:
I renamed the two files with a "png" extension. Lo and behold they appeared in the folder when I tried to attach them :thumbup: :clap:
It is very odd that they were jpegs like all the other files in the folder, yet Outlook has no problem attaching any of the others :think:
If this happens again, in future, I will take the option of "Right-click" & "Share" to email them. It is quicker than renaming the files, plus I can send them as jpegs.
Cheers
JB
