export to non xcf

Hello Gimp-user-list

Can't directly save to jpg, so exported. Export to jpg made png. Same for psd. Shouldn't name track chosen format, so no manual override needed?

Regards, Don Miller damiller2@gmail.com

Maybe you had set the file-type chooser to this format? The default "By extension" should do what you want, any other value is for special cases like you've discovered, like ambiguous file name extensions.

GIMP should also warn you if the filename you typed in the Export dialog box has a different extension than the selected file format.

Also, if you select a specific file format the dialog will automatically update the filename box to reflect the new extension, so you would only encounter this warning if you changed the extension after selecting the output filetype.
