At the moment I have no idea what your problem might be. Could you please provide more information, e.g.:Stupid wrote:I can't seem to save any of my images. I click Save As and the Save As type field is empty. When I click save, a warning pops up saying "Contact your dealer"
Strange, please remove your xnview.iniStupid wrote:-I've opened jpg, gif, and png. None of these formats will let me let me save.
-Yes, the problem occurs with all formats.
-Using Windows XP SP2. It's all up to date.
-I'm using the latest version 1.74. At first I used the standard version which wouldn't let me save. I uninstalled and installed the lite version and have the same problem.
-Yes.
-Yes.
To be more specific, when I open the Save As dialog, the Save As type field is empty. When I click on the droplist, there are no formats in which I can choose; it's just blank. The file extension in the File Name field usually shows up as the original file's extension, but not always.
When I click save (in the Save As dialog), a warning pops up and says "Contact your dealer." Sometimes when I click save, a Save as - colour mode dialog shows up. I click OK, but the file is not actually saved.
I think this is confusing for many users...Stupid wrote:I've unchecked all the file types in the options. In my haste in configuring the application to my liking, I didn't pay close attention to what the file types tab was. I had it confused with file type associations, so I unchecked all the file types, hence the disappearance of file extensions in the Save As dialog.
True. I had a minor confusion about this myself when I started using XnView although not as drastic as described in this thread.Dreamer wrote:I think this is confusing for many users...
Do you have something better than "File save types" ? I'm not sure that less confusing...Lostclown wrote:The most simple solution might be to rename the "File types" category to something like "File save types"!
Funny how simple things can be confusingxnview wrote:Do you have something better than "File save types" ? I'm not sure that less confusing...
In my opinion, it is a very useful option and is therefore needed. XnView supports saving to far more filetypes than I will ever use. Therefore limiting the number of filetype options in the "Save as..." dialog makes it a more easy to use tool for me than it would be without it.xnview wrote:Perhaps "File types" is not needed????
It's good to raise this topic, again, but could you please continue your discussion in the right topic, which is 'Wishlist: simplified file associations'. Thanks.Dreamer wrote:I think "File types" are more useless than useful, if there would be two file types with any names, it still might be confusing for some users, why not start a poll...
Do you mean to say that this feature/option is more useless than useful or are you referring to the name of the option?Dreamer wrote:I think "File types" are more useless than useful, if there would be two file types with any names, it still might be confusing for some users, why not start a poll...
