File saving should remember name of file used. Save your work as work1, choose krita format. now save as jpg you lost the name ! One could then use copy/paste to keep the filename , but automatic handling of filename would be good. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Save your work as work1, choose krita format. 2.now save as jpg you lost the name ! 3. Expected Results: Program could save the filename somewhere , just the last used one except what is after the ". " (taking out extension from last filename).
Hi, Thanks for your report! I'm not sure I understand it enough to reproduce. If I do: * create new image * save-as "bla.kra" * save-as -- I see "bla.kra" as filename, make it into "bla.jpg" the document is called bla.jpg -- isn't that correct?

Thats right, but i was not typing bla.jpg, but using the filter box below, witch I have to study a bit more to undesrtand well what it does. When working on bla.kra, using filter box to go to jpeg, then name is lost, because it shows content of repertory with a function of filtering, one has to type name or to copy/paste it When changing file format this way. In fact, what is a bit confusing to me is that this box has two functions , it filters names by extension and also gives the new file to be created it's extension. Then, I supose an other sub-program reads extension and tries to save in that format. What i would consider usefull is to keep filename present when using this box to create the file in other format. It certainlly is not a big problem. Thanks a lot for your works on this already beautyfull achievement !
Is this bug report specific to Krita application, or do you see the same issue with other KDE applications?
I confirm , tested ( I'm on Linux Mint KDE 14 ) http://i.imgur.com/HlKBWFJ.jpg If you 'Save As' ( a name as bla.kra will fill the field (2) ) , and change the filter (1) , the filename field (2) will be reset to empty. Here I never had the problem, because I'm used to type directly the extension , ex ; erase the 3 last letters, replace them by 'jpg' then save . Krita does 'understand' and don't do a *.Kra file with a *.jpg , but do a real JPG. As far as I remember my time in proprietary , a software as Photoshop could not 'understand' if you don't change the 'filter'.
hello! To Christoph Feck: I don't know , I'm on ubuntu 12.10 (64), but using a gnome classic desk, and don't use much of Kde related softwares. Thanks to David REVOY for giving confirmation of this behaviour. About photoshop , it does'nt work the same way, one must use the box to change a filetype when saving.That's why I am use to do so. By the way,In the past there where funny bugs while saving with "Photoshop", like making a filename like bla.jpg.jpg Because it kept memory of last used name but didn't remove previous extension before saving. Now and since years they corrected all that and it works fine, keeping filename. But now it's Krita that I want to use, proprietary softwares are far too expensive for my amateur personal use. Thanks for this great software!
I think there's an option in the kfiledialog api to enable something like this, I need to investigate.
