Attachments: suggested but not existing file name

suggested but not existing file name

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

use ksnapshot to take a snapshot of screen, for me, it automatically prepares a name for the picture by using the last one saved name plus a number increased by one. So on the example screenshot it's gwenview_err2.png 
'Save as' and 'copy to clipboard' options work flawlessly, but 'open with' causes error. The programs there assume the file is already saved, so gwenview complains about nonexisting file and kolour paint just falls back to an empty canvas.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
take screenshot, go for Open with..

Actual Results:  
fails as file with auto-suggested name does not exist

Expected Results:  
use some temporary name to save the file eg to /tmp/ksnapshot-<process number or whatever random>.png

I can confirm this bug with Ubuntu Maverick (10.10):

If a snapshot is taken by pressing the "print" key ksnapshot opens.
If I then press the "open with" button and choose a program like
gimp or gwenview WITHOUT saving the picture it tries to open 
"Bildschirmfoto1.png" in my home dir which does not exist.

If I save the picture as ksnapshot_bug.png in my home dir and afterwards
choose "open with" gwenview, it ries to open ksnapshot_bug1.png.

So there are 2 bugs:
- If the screenshot was not saved "open with" should create a temporary file
  first and open that with the chosen program.
- If the screenshot was saved either that file should be opened or a
  temporary file as before.
  Appending 1 or increasing the numer as reported by Marek is wrong.
