Fireshot doesn't accept save files other than PNGs

Question

Hi!

No matter what kind of file format type I set as the preferred to output, Fireshot only saves the shot as PNG.
It's happening on Brave browser / Windows 10 Pro 64 bits.

Curious thing is that the same Fireshot, on the same machine, same Pro License, looks to work just fine if you use it from Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

Is there someone who could help me to make it accept to output JPGs files from Brave?

Accepted Answer

Hello. How does the FireShot menu look on Brave? How do you save it (step-by-step description)?

Answer

Hello. There's pretty much room for confusion. The option you're using is for dragging out the captures from Editor to another program. If you want to save the captures to disk, you use the command "Save", which provides a "Save as dialog", where you can choose one of the format options (PNG/JPEG/BMP/GIF/PDF).

If you don't see the dialog, please either reset all hidden dialogs using this button:

OR press a SHIFT key next time you launch the FireShot command and keep it pressed until you see that dialog.
