save as type jpg error

Post by flowerfoto »

When I open an image from my NAS, edit the image, and then attempt to save it as the default jpg type I get the following error message: "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

This error doesnt happen with any other image filetype. It doesnt happen with local hard drives. It doesnt happen with unedited images. It just appears to happen with edited images, the default jpg filetype, and my NAS.

When I actually type in ".jpg" at the end of the filename it works.

Its an annoyance i would like solved because I do this a lot. Thanks

Sounds like you're getting an invalid filename or directory from your NAS. See this MS article regarding naming conventions and invalid characters:

I've seen another program fail to add the "dot extension" in the Save dialog if an invalid character or more than one "dot" is in the filename.
