Snapshots problem with 1.0.1

[ekennedy]

Previous versions detected the file type from the extension. "snapshot.bmp" was a bitmap and "snapshot.jpg" was a jpg. 1.0.1 is exporting PNG files for both of those requests.

You have changed VLC settings? Tools -> Preferences... and Video and Format selection?

I'm using vlc in from libvlc.dll, ignoring config.

There is an option called

--snapshot-format={png,jpg}
Video snapshot format
Image format which will be used to store the video snapshots

Even with that option set the resulting image is a PNG. To add insult to injury now I need some code to process the PNG. That results in access violations! (viewtopic.php?f=14&t=64159)

I have exactly the same problem.
In Tools > Preferences > Video - alter format from PNG to JPG & Save.
VLC opens with JPG as format but still saves as PNG

All is OK this morning - Jpgs now being saved.

Checked on the current release 1.0.2 and noticed the issue has still not been fixed.

Even setting default export within VLC to .jpg it still exports .png files. When using through libvlc.dll the exports are always PNG files... regardless of that you name them.
