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

Research direction

Start with the Upload file and Preview file pages and reproduce the classification of an .OBJ upload. Trace how the uploaded file type becomes TIFF and compare it with the manually corrected database type. Done means .OBJ files are recognized correctly and displayed by the 3D previewer.
