What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Draw a horizontal line in the editing area. 
2.Save the image on the desktop using the following settings:
Format: png
File name: no file name   

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The program should give warning that there is no file name entered.
The image was saved on the desktop with no name.

What version of GrafX2 are you using? On what operating system?
OpSys: Window 7
GrafX2 version 2.2.

I have mixed feelings about this. I agree that people rarely need to call an 
image ".png", but it's a valid filename on Windows (and many other platforms). 
The save succeeds, the status bar shows the new name ".png", the file should 
show up in Explorer, it also shows up in Grafx2's fileselector, including when 
the filter is on "png". You're not stuck, you can re-open the image in Grafx2 
and any other image viewer; Windows Explorer lets you rename the file to 
whatyouwant.png.

I've just tried on an old version of Photoshop, it has exactly the same 
behavior as Grafx2 :/ (ok it's not an excuse... I was just wondering how they 
handled it)

If more people think it's bad I'll act anyway, but at least I'd prefer not make 
it an error message: Rather disable the OK button when the typed filename is 
completely empty. This will let people call their filename ".png" if they want, 
when they type it entirely.

GIMP also accepts doing that. Being a linux app, it's a bit more annoying 
because dotfiles are hidden. But I don't see why this should be disallowed...
