Bug Description

Hi Friends,
Since 0.92.3, the Export PNG dialog offers an inapropriate filename. (Windows 7, Inkscape 0.92.3, 7z package)

Let's say this is an SVG file called image.svg. When you go to export a PNG, it offers the filename image.svg.png.

I can't think of any good reason to have the ".svg" wedged in between the name and the .png extension.

Can the ".svg" be left out please?

Thanks :-)

PS - Have we gone a little bit overboard with the bug reporting guidelines below?? Doesn't it give the impression that we've lost out patience? Maybe we could delete the last 20 to 22 lines of that reminder??

  If I then save the original svg file, the svg file will remember the name of the saved png file. The svg file will contain a new entry which will read as:

   inkscape:export-filename="C:\Windows\Temp\test.png"

  If I then do another export as png, using the same svg file, then the new export will show the remembered png filename in the export dialog.

- could you attach the svg file that you are using, for testing purposes? Likely the bad file name is embedded in the svg file from a previous export.

This appears to have been fixed in 1.0 beta (1.0beta1 (fe3e306, 2019-09-17))

Will not migrate to GL.

Since I can't cite the specific fix, I'm closing this by marking Invalid.
