jfif atachments: Is there a way for jira to preview/display attached jfif files?

WindHub Support

With Microsoft Teams taking over the company's communications, .jfif images are becoming increasingly common.

GIFs, JPGs, and PNGs can be viewed or previewed in Jira, but JFIFs cannot (at least by default)

Is there any way to make it work?

Are there any plans for Atlassian to include this feature in the future?

Hi @WindHub Support

if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, this would work as expected using the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a range of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Plus, it supports JFIF files (along with virtually all other media file types), like so:

jfif.gif

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

This is not exactly what I was looking for, but it can solve the issue for some of my users.
But you make me discover an app with very interesting functionalities besides this one.
Thanks twice for your comment

Hi @WindHub Support 

 

For now file formats like GIF, JPG, and PNG are supported and unfortunately I don't know Atlassian plans. You can ask Atlassian support (support.atlassian.com) about that.

I found out that this .JFIF thing is becoming an issue for my users because Microsoft Teams + Windows and apparently, with a small registry thing, these files can become .JPG files by default again:
Why are images saved as jpegs now end up being in a jfif format? - Microsoft Community

So, I raised a ticket to my company's IT to weigh the benefits of this JFIF against the cons. (As this is affecting many other apps like SAP and ServiceNow in worse ways than for Jira)

I'll wait to see how this develops internally before going to Atlassian support.
