5mo agoby RexSystem edited originally by @noisieev on GitHub

Summary

GIFs are saved as .mkv files in Media when starred from Tenor Search results in the GIF picker. They should be saved as .gif files like when they are starred from embeds so they can auto-play.

Steps to reproduce

Go to GIF picker
Search for any GIF in Tenor Search
Star a GIF from results to save it to Media.
GIF is stored as .mkv file in Media.

OP reports this (afaik) is fixed in latest Canary; https://web.canary.fluxer.app/channels/1427764661718740994/1497639278555484216/1500830739478828206

"...I found out why it's actually working with embeds and why it isn't a problem on canary"

This doesn't seem to be an issue on the canary build, since starring gifs from Tenor Search results saves them to your Media as a link instead of a new file.
