Easy-thumbnails not generated for images with uppercase extensions

Question

I am using the latest version of easy-thumbnails and it is working great except that when a user tries to upload an image with an uppercase extension e.g. image.JPG, no thumbnail gets generated. I have confirmed that my simply changing the JPG to jpg, all works well. How can I get this fixed please?

Update

As a temporary workaround, I have written a rename function on the model changing the extention to lowercase.

Are you using Django's filebrowser? – NeoVe Aug 13 '15 at 18:34 — NeoVe, Aug 13 '15 at 18:34
No, the client's file browser is used – RunLoop Aug 14 '15 at 03:45 — RunLoop, Aug 14 '15 at 03:45

Could you try to put this line on your project's settings.py file:

THUMBNAIL_PRESERVE_EXTENSIONS = None

Tell me if it works like this, maybe this forces the module to process that kind of image.

However, it's not very common to have such uppercase extensions.

That setting is the default, but I tried it none the less. Unfortunately it did not work. – RunLoop Aug 14 '15 at 03:45
What type of field are you using: ThumbnailerField, FileField or ImageField? – NeoVe Aug 15 '15 at 11:11
