It is even worse than this! It also converts GIF to jpg - and note that it also 
changes the file name in the coding as well as the file. I haven't found any 
way of changing them back other than manually and this I have to go with 
several as I make use of transparency.

Good luck with the bug report. I haven't submitted one previously but have 
commented on this behaviour on LUG.

Adding functionality to convert image formats automatically is something that 
must be done intentionally.  Usually, behaviour that is intentionally added to 
software is not considered a bug; rather, some may object to it as a poor 
design decision.

My guess is that this was done for compatibility purposes.  Many machines are 
not configured properly to display PNG images in their web browsers, while JPG 
images are universally supported out-of-the-box.
