Hi, the filename extension is usually irrelevant on Linux, because Linux tools typically use the standard 'file' command to inspect the content of the fileinstead of relying on the filename to indicate content. What is more likely important is that the keywords in the output of 'file <imagefile>' command are correctly specified in your desired configuration.
