Exporting SVG to PNG

[AdamStanislav]

When I open an SVG file (this has been going on in all the Betas so far) and try to export it as a PNG bitmap, the save dialog claims it is going to create an *.png file but it keeps the .svg extension in the file name it offers, so if you just accept it without explicitly deleting the .svg extension and changing it to .png, it will save the PNG bitmap under the name of the original SVG.

 

OK, that was a mouthful. So, here is an example:

 

Open example.svg, export to PNG. After the export dialog, the save-file dialog pops up. It suggests to save the PNG as example.svg. Since any other Windows program would automatically offer example.png, you just press the enter key, and now you have lost your original SVG file and you cannot find your bitmap because example.svg in now a PNG bitmap with the wrong extension.

 

 

Additionally, Affinity Designer now thinks that example.svg has changed (even though all I did was export it), and so when I want to quite the program, it wants me to save it.
