Feature description

hi, it would be really useful to be able to export pictures as PNG after editing them.

Why do you want this feature?

there's currently no way to export pictures in a lossless format.

Have you tried changing the extension to png in the save dialog?

[throwaway242685]

well, yeah, but perhaps it would be better to be able to pick the default format to export like on Snapseed:

so it would automatically get saved as PNG?

That's kind of planned. The extension input will be turned into a drop down menu with supported formats plus a custom option for those who need it (https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery/issues/3#issuecomment-2357780855)

Yes, changing the extension also changes the format but only in the editor. When you are just renaming a file, changing the extension doesn't change the format.
