Description
What steps does it take to reproduce the issue?
Uploading a file in .obj format is incorrectly detected as .tiff. However, if the file type is manually corrected in the database, it can be displayed properly.
When does this issue occur?
When uploading and previewing a file.
Which page(s) does it occurs on?
- Upload file
- Preview file
What happens?
The system misidentifies .obj files as .tiff, preventing correct visualization.
To whom does it occur (all users, curators, superuser)?
All users
What did you expect to happen?
The .obj file should be recognized correctly so that the previewer can detect and display it as a 3D image.
Which version of Dataverse are you using?
6.4
