Bug ID: 364995
Summary: unable to save a file without typing the extension
name, also never remembers the last directory
Product: Spectacle
Version: unspecified
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: jamiesexto...@gmail.com
spectacle --version
spectacle 15.12.3
lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Yakkety Yak (development branch)
Release: 16.10
Codename: yakkety
1.Unable to save using Save as without typing the extension name even though
PNG Image is selected I still have to manually type .png everytime.
Shows an error box
Error - Spectacle
QImageWriter cannot write image: Unsupported image format.
2. Doesn't remember the last used directory. However I just noticed that
/home/jamie/Pictures had reverted back from my previous setting so changing it
again.
3. Actually is a feature request or a feature that I am unaware of. I don't see
a way to prompt using the Save option for data. I would like specifically to
append to filename based on text entered in a popup dialog.
Example from Configure save options %Y%M%D_
I was trying to do this
%Y%M%D_$(kdialog --title "Item Number?" --inputbox "Please enter the item
number you wish to save the screenshot for. If there are multiple files leave a
comment after the item number.")
I also tried it as
%Y%M%D_$(kdialog --title "Ticket Number?" --inputbox "Please enter the ticket
number you wish to save the screenshot for. If there are multiple files leave a
comment after the ticket number.")
I also tried to make that an alias and then use it using %Y%M%D_$itemnumber and
also %Y%M%D_$(itemnumber) but it saves the file name as exactly what is entered
and doesn't do bash expansion or actually run the alias. Is it being removed or
ignored by the scripts input validation?
This is what the file saved as and I had checked that the alias is indeed
working if I call it from a command prompt.

4. Sorry though of something else. Although I have Area: Rectangular Region or
Area:Current Screen it always takes a screenshot of all three screens which is
a security issue for me if something is accidentally saved that isn't supposed
to be. Is there a bug in checking that setting when opening. It wasn't an issue
in the previous KDE screenshot app. ? Thanks
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take a screnshot. Select save as and enter a filename w/o an extension. It
will fail everytime.
2. It may be fixed now. I found the save directory was no longer set to my
previous setting after a reboot
3.try saving a file with a variable in the name that is defined system wide
with an alias or using the command inside of the filename naming options
4. Open Spectacle with the PrintScreen button
