           Summary: detect image type to save according to extension
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: wolfi at sigxcpu.org


Version:           1.0.0~rc-1 (using KDE 4.3.2)
Compiler:          gcc amd64
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

If I want to "Save As" in the image editor, and the filter selects jpeg images,
I cannot type "bla.tiff" and the image is saved as tiff. It is still a jpeg
with an irritating name.
This is especially bad, when I edit a 16Bit image, which is then automativally
converted to 8 Bit without noticing.
In pre5, I could type whatever extension I wanted, and the file was saved
properly, at least when the "All images" filter (which no longer exists) was
selected.

For me, the proper behaviour would be to recognise the image type from the
filename extension entered by the user.
