"Convert image formats on upload" file blueprint option does not ignore video files (& produces broken files as a result)

As stated in that article:

If the file blueprint also accept non-image files, those will be skipped and their format/extension left untouched.

This is not the case in my experience. As I attempt to upload an mp4 file, it creates a broken .webp file that breaks my website.

Here’s the relevant file blueprint. Am I doing/expecting something wrong here ?

title: Project cover media
create:
  width: 1920
  height: 1920
  format: webp

fields:
  alt:
    type: text
    width: 1/2
    default: 'No description available'

A video can unfortunately not be converted to webp. It would be amazing if this worked and it would simply create a thumbnail, but GD lib and Imagemagick are not able to handle that.

I could reproduce this, it’s a bug it seems. Opened an issue: File `create.format` blueprint option also converts mp4 to broken webp · Issue #6715 · getkirby/kirby · GitHub

Oh you are right. The file shouldn’t be touched at all.

Yes exactly, but indeed my point is I’d like to upload mp4 with that file blueprint, without having them converted to webp’s haha.

As a temporary fix, would there be a way to make my video files take a different file blueprint when uploaded to the same filed ? Or anything else that wouldn’t require me to separate video/images in two fields ?

Thank you :slight_smile:

By the way, this is also broken for seemingly all other file types (I tested with .pdf, .mov, .webm).
