Thank you, Pierre.
Ok, I will do as mentioned. Please allow me a little of time, I want to make those experiments to see if I can provide you something more for you to work with. I know it's difficult with not so much information that what I have currently. I am not sure if I can dedicate time today ...

How to reproduce:
Open the some.filename_01-A.jpg (or whatever pic file), drag a selection and hit F6 (Save selection...). In the Save File dialog, do not change the file ...
