Why do photos export as bpm files?
Hello, it's currently VERY tedious to save high-res versions of photos out of Blox. There is an export option on each file when you right click, but the file downloads as a bpm file, which isn't readable by photo editing programs. Is there any way to export photos as usable photo files? Jpg? Png? This seems pointless to offer an export option for something that can't be used. Is there a setting somewhere that can be changed internally to allow a downloadable, usable photo format?

In Legacy Blox (the blue UI) there is currently not a way to do this. When you download an asset you get the full asset with all meta-data (headline, caption, tags, etc), which is a "bpm" file. To get the image itself, you need to open the preview of the image then right-click and save as. The format you will get will depend on your browser. Most modern browsers will request a webp from us. You can convert that with photoshop to another format if needed.
In NXT there is a download button, and there is a feature request to add this same functionality into Legacy UI as well, with a default of JPG format.

You can download the hi-res image in Legacy(blue) BLOX, it's just a multi-step process...
- edit the asset.
- go to the other tab
- scroll down to the Hi-Res field.
- click/tap View (a new browser window will open) to view the "raw" hi res image.
- Save the image:
