Saving pictures in Ksnapshot defaults to "all supported files"

[Jussi Schultink]

Binary package hint: ksnapshot

When you save in ksnapshot, the default file type is "all supported files" resulting in that you have to pick a file type. this should default to some sort of picture format, preferably a free one, perhaps .png ?

What is the rationale for such a change?

[Jussi Schultink (jussi01)]

K/Ubuntu is known to have defaults that help the general user. The rational in asking for this change is twofold:

1. Users want to have a smooth workflow - not having this this adds more clicks and annoyance to the workflow
2. Users may not be aware of free formats or good formats to use for this type of pictures - the appeal of Kubuntu is that defaults are good, but the choice is there. (IMHO)

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

The auto-provided file name defaults to .png, or at least it does in KDE 4.3. The combobox is set to "All supported images" so that all files of the image type are visible so that you can choose to overwrite one if desired.
