Description mirh 2020-03-26 21:56:02 UTC

SUMMARY
I set jpg as the default extension, but every time I get to save an image its default extension is set back to png despite of that. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set jpg as the default image format
2. Scan. 
3. Save

OBSERVED RESULT
Png always comes out (at least on a "fresh" start of the program)

EXPECTED RESULT
Respect the preference
(or better yet, I wonder why not just remembering the last used setting?)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.14.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Btw isn't it possible to get the jpeg quality slider in the path selection dialog? 
Irfanview would do this for example.

Comment 1 WhyDoIHaveToRegister 2021-04-21 22:40:30 UTC

Just ran into this same issue with my mom's computer, which was causing scanned documents to be 100MB+ PNGs instead of 1MB JPEGs. Even though Skanlite is set to save as JPEG, when the Save dialog appears, the selected format is PNG. You can change it to JPEG and it will honor that, but the default setting isn't what it should be, and a non-techie user has no idea they need to change it.
