In the Album template under “Advanced Settings” I selected “Use photos rendition”.
I tried switching this to “Disabled” and the download link disappeared as expected.
I switched it back, created a new album with the same template and uploaded a new photo, same problem.
In older albums created with older versions of Backlight the downloads links still work.
Have I broken something?
Hi Michael, the download script is failing because it’s generating a link with the filename DSCF5693.jpg but your filename is actually DSCF5693.JPG. I can’t think of a good solution to this other than to republish with lowercase extensions.
I’ll look into whether this can be solved in our code.
Hi Ben,
that did the trick. My cameras produce and upload files with uppercase filenames and don’t provide a setting to change this.
I modified my custom script that sends photos from the location where the camera uploads them to Backlight’s upload function to change all extensions to lowercase.
The “File-not-found-behaviour” also effects files with uppercase extensions that are regularly uploaded via browser. So I presume, You could address the matter either in the upload process or in the download script.
Hi Michael, thanks for the suggestion. I am looking into changing the extensions on upload via the Backlight admin. The LR plugin does change extensions to lowercase, or more correctly simply uses lowercase - I can’t see where we have explicitly coded the conversion.
Hi @michilge, I have a fix for this in our development code. Changing the case of the extension during uploads has proven to be very complicated, so I’ve worked out a fix to use the correct extension in the download URL.
