    Hi Adrian

    An URL requires an extension eg. Jpg

    Example:

    https://url/to/my/image.jpg  <– extension

    It will not work without extension.

    Do your images have extensions?

    No, they don’t

    The URL is without a .jpeg or other extension

    Please try to open one of your URLs manually in the browser and add .png as extension. Does the image still Show up?

    An example URL would be helpful. You can post in private by checking the appropriate checkbox here.

    Hi Adrian

    in the current version it will only work with file extension.

    But: we’re currently working on the next update and there might be an improvement included to also accept URLs without file extension. I will re-check with the developers and get back to you with more information.

    Good news – There’s already an inbuilt toggle for the file extension check – here’s how to deactivate file extension check:

    • Close MyDataMerge
    • Open the terminal (Press CMD+SPACE, enter “Terminal”, press Enter)
    • Copy & paste the following command and execute it
    defaults write com.toolboxcode.mydatamerge imageDownloadFileExtensionValidation 0
    • Restart MyDataMerge
    • Check if it works for you and let us know

    To enable it again repeat the above process but change the command:

    defaults write com.toolboxcode.mydatamerge imageDownloadFileExtensionValidation 1

    The Terminal is a macOS application. CMD + SPACE just opens the macOS internal searchBar.
    You can also go to Applications > Utilities and open the Terminal.app manually.

    Then follow the instructions from my previous post.
