Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources When saving file trought save as... the suggested default format is not PNG but XPM. Even that the filename is kept old one and it would be PNG, the dialog shows: --------- Name: filename.png Filter: All Pictures "automatically select filename extension (.xpm)" No Options Available --------- Make the save as... function to use default file format as default. XPM is 8bit lossy one and it creates the faulty broken filename.png what can not be opened and digiKam can not even show preview.
As an aside, the "Automatically set file extension (XPM)" bit appears whatever the file type is set to, for example when saving a JPEG file.
For me, the last used file format is restored. When I delete the relevant settings from my digikamrc, the default, PNG, is used. There is indeed the problem with the "automatically select..." text. I cannot find this string in digikam's source, I assume it comes from kdelibs.
Yes, it's from kdelibs and I got no idea how to change this. kdelibs takes the first format from "all images" for this.

I'm not quite sure which kind of behaviour we really want to have. Maybe completely disabling this would be the best solution.
I believe this one is fixed for 2.0. I have changed some lines there, and also worked around the XPM problem: Using the "all files" filter instead of the "all images" filter, which also brought a number of other problems, so I dropped this, I believe it's better like this.
