Hi there,

my "save as" dialogue always pre-selects the bitmap (bmp) format. I don't even have any bitmap images. The option "use same file format" has no effect. I am on XnView 1.4.4 and I use the Flatpak version. What could be the reason? Are there more options that influence the file format? Or did I find a bug?

Cheers,
Christian

It happens for jpg and png images. I rarely use any other formats.

could you send me your xnview.ini?

i've tried your xnview.ini.
I open XnView, click on a jpg and open it. 'Save as' and 'jpeg file' is selected.

Interesting. I now tried the AUR version instead of the Flatpak version, using the same xnview.ini, and the problem immediately disappeared. XnView does have full system access though, so the usual permission problems with Flatpak should not appear. Do you have any idea what could make the difference? Just a faulty build on Flatpak?
