Description Shual Kravot 2025-05-14 15:53:25 UTC
Created attachment 181296 [details]
different format than it was saved as.

SUMMARY
1. Trying to save an images in another format - fails.
2. specifying a different extension for the file - doesn't change the selected format
3. specifying a different type & extension for the file - just create a copy of the original file
4. there's no option to save as simple JPEG.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  open a HEIC file
2. File > Save as
3. search for simple JPEG format -- there isn't a simple JPEG format.
4. save as PNG or WEBP.
the file is saved with a new filename + extesion
but the format is still HEIC.



OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
1. appending a new image file extension, changes the file format box.
2. saving in another format, saves the file in that format
3. having a JPEG option, in the "save as" dialo

Hi - I can't reproduce this on my Fedora KDE 42 device - there is a clear option for "JPEG image" in the Save As File type dropdown, and saving as another image type definitely changes the image type, as verifiable by running head <filename>.

Is there a chance that you are missing some dependencies of Gwenview on your device? I noticed that its Arch Linux package has several image format packages as "optional" dependencies.

Thanks!
