How do you change the type of the image?

[Timmie (timmie)]

I change the type of the image by selecting the filetype in the field of the save-as dialog.

Well, if I don't change the file name then it does change the extension correctly (e.g. from .png to .gif).

But if I type in a new name -- without entering a extension -- and change the file type then the save as dialog doesn't automatically change/add the corresponding extension.
=> It seems that this is not a Gimp bug. It rather refers to the gnome-save-as dialog.

Thanks for attending this!

Do you use the "select type" list or the combox box on the right which is only a filter for the selector?

Closing this report for now since no more information has been provided, feel free to re open it if you can reproduce it with Gutsy Gibbon. thanks.

I've got the problem as well using Ubuntu 8.04. It is very annoying and I would enjoy this bug to be fixed! :-)

[Tralalalala (tralalalala)]

I want this to be fixed too.

Hello,
why is this still happening?
Every program can automatically change file extensions on selection of file type.

Has this been reported to the GIMP tracker?

Thanks,
Timmie
