  1.8.2 - viewer - save - conversion warning appears after raw (current post)

• suggestions
  App UI - messageboxes - notify on incorrect extension
  - done -
  App UI - messageboxes - improve Draw, Catalog dialogs (1.7.0)
  Viewer - deletion routine - add new single dialog for dirty file (1.7.0)
  App UI - messageboxes - unify design (1.6.5)

The meaning of the two text versions differs:

The first text - improbably - implies that the source image will be converted to a 24-bit image, although that is not what is meant.

The second text correctly states that the image will be saved to a 24-bit RGB file, but ideally would also include the first text's '24-bits per component' text.

Suggested better wording:

Image will be saved as 24-bit RGB with 8 bits per component

1st part - OK
2nd part - I prefer "(8bits per channel)", with parentheses
bps - bits per component/channel/color, all of which are synonyms
I just don't see any reason to use 'component' only in this one place when all menus/commands use 'channel'.

How do you have the second dialog??

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

don't know.. it happened a few times in the test folder, but after I deleted it, I can't reproduce it on other files

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.8.3. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
