Bug ID: 477961
Summary: Cannot save as JPEG after updating to KDE 6 beta
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 24.01.80
Platform: Arch Linux

Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
***
Cannot save screen capture as JPEG after updating to KDE 6 beta
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take a screenshot
2. Select "Save As..."
3. Change file type to JPEG
4. Hit "Save"
OBSERVED RESULT
An error says QImageWriter (or something like that) cannot write the requested
format. Still leaves a 0 byte file behind though.
EXPECTED RESULT
Image is saved as a JPEG.
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.90.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.246.0
Qt Version: 6.6.1
Kernel Version: 6.6.3-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 16 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-12600K
Memory: 31.1 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2
Manufacturer: ASUS
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The problem is, after the update, the only registered file name extension for
JPEG is JFIF and, for some reason QImageWriter cannot handle that. I am not
sure whether JFIF being the only registered file name extension is a bug on its
own, but replacing it with the proper JPEG extension in the file associations
panel fixes the problem - QImageWriter is able to write JPEGs again.
NB Other file types may also be affected, I haven't tried them all.
