In germany we have a date-format that is dd.mm.yy(yy). So I often use Dots in Filenames. The Crux is, that when I save e. g. a BMP-File accidentally as "Picture27.09.07" (intended as "Picture27.09.07.bmp") it can't be opened with Paint.net, because it's simply not shown in the open-dialog and even when I drag & drop it in the Paint.net window I get an error message "The image type is not recognized, and cannot be opened". I have manually rename it to .bmp to get it work

Ah, I see. But then I don't understand why a file can be saved with other extensions as the ones that Paint.net 'knows' ?

Yes, but only if the File-Type dropdown box ist set to "All Files" (an Option that Paint.net misses) In Editor, when I save a File as Text.01 and the file extension is set to ".txt", the file is saved as Text.01.txt, but when I set the file extension to "All Files" it is saved as Text.01. Most Programs I know handle it like this, but not Paint.net.

When I save a file with Save as... and i use a Name with a . in it, the file extension is not written.

Hi, it would be very helpful if the Status Bar additionally shows the aspect ratio of a rectangle/a bounding rectangle. Should be not too difficult to implement If one can resize a rectangle at a specific aspect ratio that would be great too (like the Shift-key does for 1:1 AR) Maybe with Shift-CTRL ?!
