- Please, test the following, the Option "Change the name after Save as…" being ticked :

1. Open any small pic in “View”, let's say fileX.BMP or fileX.PNG
2. Ask for "Save as –> fileX.JPG in the same directory than the original file.
3. The file-name in the title-bar is alright changed to fileX.JPG
4. Press Ctrl+R to reopen the “displayed” file : you get an error message telling that the fileX.jpg has a unknown format (in French, in English the message is else)

I guess there are somewhere, since :
a) The programme doesn't refresh the display automatically as soon as you have converted the format by saving it as…, although the new name is shown. To be sure of this, simply look at the tool-bar : despite a JPG file-name is shown, the JPEG … button stays disabled.
b) Then the "Reopen" command might acts simply, and should not lead to get an error message in the case.
- The way in which XnView might find out the new path for the "saved as…" file, whether you saved it in any else dir. than the source-file one is your "cooking"

I confirm : the displayed file and the filename in the title-bar don't match.

despite a JPG file-name is shown, the JPEG … button stays disabled.

- Right, watching the JPG button allows to know that this is not a JPG on the screen.

Then the "Reopen" command might acts simply, and should not lead to get an error message in the case.

- I agree, the program might reload / refresh the file to the saved one...

Yes, a severe one since people might loose their image (just happened to me). I've just added this one to the lits of must fixes.

Loosing image data is not possible, here, but the error message was irritating.

This is solved in XnView 1.90.
