format toggle between .png and .jpg for smaller file sizes. #3457

Feature Description

a toggle button the on UI that switches the export/saving format between .png and .jpg. This would effect the "save as" and the "copy to clipboard" functions.

The idea is that sometimes .jpg and it's lossy compression is better suited to the images being captured. Particularly if this is annotations of pictures and videos. Smaller file sizes are preferred sometimes when sharing the screengrabs quickly over the network.

I would suggest picking a default 70% quality .jpg as a reasonable compromise. This value would not be exposed as a setting on the GUI, but in the config file if needed.
