Export with .jpg (or other extension) in filename by default

[Evert Albers]

Using the latest Affinity photo on Mac.

I am wondering if it's possible to add e.g. the .jpg file extension to the filename by default when exporting. Currently I have to manually add the extension to the filename with every export action, in order to use the file on websites (which is what I do mostly) or send the files to Windows or Linux users.

Maybe the answer is on this forum already, but I haven't been able to find it.

Hello Evert and welcome to the Affinity forums
In Photo’s preferences go to General and un-tick ‘Automatically Hide Extension’.

Thanks Mark! I have 'been' there, but apparently overlooked this option.

No worries, it happens to all of us at one time or another!

Note that this does not affect the file itself, only if the extension is displayed, for example in the Mac Finder. Ticked or unticked, the file includes the appropriate extension.
