I’ll admit my Mac is old. (2014). And I prolly should replace it. I keep it updated.
I moved over to Chrome to try some tests, with the same results. “Not supported”
One thing I did, I dragged a RR club members pic out of his FaceBook to my desktop.
Then dragged it to my freight shed.
Then got the insert code
And here it is.
It is a .jpg
Does everyone see it?
Bruce might have solved the problem.
I can see it John!(https://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
The problem is partially solved. I have to figure out how to change
all my pics to .jpg. I need to find an app. Doing it with Preview (Mac’s photo editing program) is a big pain.
Edited: Preview doesn’t even have .jpg option on its choices. Only .jpeg
This is a .png I changed in Preview.
Can you see it?

I can see it, but it looks like the aspect ratio might be off a bit; or is that car on the left really very low and long? I guess it must be as the one on the right looks OK.
Jon,
That’s a 40’ enclosed brine tank car that Rooster really wants.
The other is a 30’ reefer. I scratched them both.
Aspect is correct.

John, I am very new to the Mac. On mine, I just go into FINDER and change the extension (delete the ‘e’ to make it .jpg). I have no idea if you have finder or not.(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-embarassed.gif)
I have Finder. I’ll check it out. Thanks.

Can you use jpg and jpeg? If not that may be a problem. It upset mr when Apple fooled with that.
Apparently Freight sheds do not support jpeg.
Content wise, there is no difference between .JPG and .JPEG. I can rename them in my webspace and they will display properly with either extension because the BROWSER supports them. I haven’t re-read the entire thread so I am assuming the problem is not that you can’t upload a JPEG, but when you try and open it to get the link, LSC barfs. If this software wasn’t about ready for the old age home, it would probably be a matter of adding the extension to a table somewhere that lists the supported file types.
So if .PNG is easier for you, and it works I’d just stay with that for now. PNG is a different compression method and may not give you the detail that JP(E)G does, but the one you posted with the brine car looks fine.

John,
My Mac is 2015, so the age of your Mac isn’t the problem. Stick with Safari. Chrome in a Mac is a PITA 
Just use jpg and you will be good to go. As far as the compression issue between the two extensions, you probably won’t notice the difference.
Well, after all kinds of testing and experimenting, I think I’ve solved the problem.
(For pics anyway: vids are another thing.)
All the pics stored on my Mac are .jpg. When I drag them to the desktop they turn into .jpeg all by themselves.
I rename them on the desktop and delete the “e”. and take out underlines and any other symbol.
Thanks for all the help.
And yes, I can now drag and drop to the Freightshed. from the desktop. No more selecting files.
Still not seeing any pics …(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

John, the Freightsheds will let you upload any kind of file. I have put PDFs in their so they can be downloaded, but not displayed. A non-displayable file type will get you the NOT message.
I suspect your file extension is not .jpg or .jpeg. Sometimes just editing the file name before you upload (e.g. to “picture.jpg”) will cause it to work.
Amazing! I have been fighting this too, (Mac with Catalina and Safari). I had uploaded photos as name.jpeg and was getting the “document not supported” message. So I tried just changing the file name to name.jpg and re-uploaded them. Now they are viewable! On to the next step.

Dave,
Glad you found the fix. I wasn’t paying attention to the file extension until I noticed
the Mac changed them to .jepg when I drug them to the desktop for re-dragging them to freight shed.
Now video’s are another thing I can’t do.
