Comment (by pulkomandy):
I like Axel idea (remove the menu and add a popup menu to the save panel.
However I can't agree with the "as it is done everywhere else" part. The
only app I've found which does this is Wonderbrush (and it's not open
source so I can't borrow the code from there).
At least the following need to be updated:
* ShowImage: has a menu in the menubar
* Magnify: saves the bitmap as a .h only
* Screenshot: has a popup in the main window
* CodyCam: has a popup in the main window, no way to get to the translator
settings (and also currently no file panel)
Icon-O-Matic has a similar save panel but hardwired to a preset list of
formats instead of listing all image translators found in the system.
Given the same file panel could be used by all 4 apps above (and maybe
more? Did I miss one?), it should be made part of the shared kit so the
apps can all use it.
This is orthogonal to Ryan's suggested changes, since it doesn't need to
know the original format of the image. It would be nice if it did,
however, so it could have a "original format" option in the menu
performing just a copy. But there are better tools to copy files.
