Can we use .png for products?

Having always to make jpg when Gimp gives .png as favoured.

Any way of changing to accept pngs instead of jpgs

You can choose .png without any changes

I am using 1.5.6a and it does not accept pngs when I make a new product only jpgs.

Zen Cart has been accepting jpg, gif, webp, png, and swf for as long as I can remember. I suggest you check the .htacces file in your images folder against a fresh Zen Cart file set. And check your hosting for allowed files on the server.

Thanks for that I'll try it out.

I see this in the present one

I have tried an image test of a png and it worked. I'll have to go back and try the orginal failed jpgs again to see what is happening.

First the pngs did not work I made jpgs and they worked. I'll get to the bottom of this I hope.

Anyway thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
