Aha, so this is actually completely specific to the desktop app and is because we prompt for the filename before fetching the file (apart from obviously that the browser would already have fetched it to display it). In fact it just literally defaults to ‘image.png’.

Choosing “copy link address” instead of “save image” yields this URL: https://matrix.example.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/example.org/2022-02-01_iBnlzJewWOBknlCt without .gif 🤔 When I download it with E anyway it is a proper gif… apart from the filename.

$ file /tmp/image.png
/tmp/image.png: GIF image data, version 89a, 350 x 263

Opening the same URL in my chromium-based browser and downloading it there does suggest the file name incl .gif ending as you said.
