You need to scroll up in the list.

OK. But I think it’s not very handy not to have direct access to kra extension in Save As. A lot of people will search for it as it’s very unusual to scroll up to seach something in a menu.
Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2022-07-18 21:37:12 UTC
No, that's not unusual at all, especially since it's not a menu, but a combobox. Please blame Microsoft for having removed the scollbar from the combobox; that's not our code.

I understand now the problem - and Microsoft’s fault. Too bad there is no way to save quickly as .kra. In Affinity Photo, they make the difference between "save as" that saves if Affinity format and "export" that saves in different format. But it can be tricky too because you don’t expect to have two ways of saving :-) Thanks for your explanation.

You can always just type the file extension, that's way faster than scrolling and clicking. And note in the export settings dialog there's a checkbox "also save as kra".

The difference between save as and export was codified in the eighties and is:

* save as renames the file you are working on, any subsequent save will save under that name
* export creates a copy of the file you are working on, any subsequent save will save under the original filename

Thanks for the explanation. I will try to type the kra extension.
