Re: Saving jpg files

[Malvern]

I save them with the name the computer assigns (picture 1, picture 2,
etc.),which gets the extension. I then go back later and rename as wanted;
the .jpg extension sticks.

Do you have "Hide extensions for known file types" in Folder Options> View
on or off?

If this is off and known extensions are showing, you need to type them in
along with the file name. If it is on, selecting the file type in the save
dialog box is sufficient and it does not have to be typed.

Have mixed feelings about this setting: showing extensions is more secure
but it's less convenient.
