Solved Can I upload images in .eps and .ps format?

Dear sozzled thank you so much for your kind interest! I should now decide for which one of your replies I should use the "Thank you" button!

I have another question, I am not sure whether or not I should open a new discussion for that, so for the moment I ask it here because it is still related to images, but please feel free to split the discussion if you think it is needed.

I wanted to let people upload images in .eps and .ps format, but I did not succeed. They can just upload these as files and not as images.
This is what I ahve done:
I have added "eps" to the list of extensions, and "application/postscript" for the MIME type (all lower case, no space and comma separated).
But if I try to upload a .eps file I get:
"Failed to upload file filename.eps: Image MIME type () is not allowed (eps,jpg,jpeg,gif,png)."

If instead I insert the extension .eps in the "file" upload section, and remove it from the "image" one, then the file is uploaded, but I can't see the image in the post.

Yes you can upload these kinds of files but, unless your browser has built-in support for viewing those things, you won't see them. For further information, see www.math.washington.edu/~smith/Teaching/postscript.html

Therefore, the answer to your question - "Can I upload images in .eps and .ps format?" - is yes. The answer to your implied question - "Can I display .eps and .ps forumat attachments in my web browser?" - is, in general, no.
