requestfile : Save As Type

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/requestfile : Save As Type

Using the Requestfile command with the save flag, how do you act on the information in the 'Save As Type' field? If I want to save as, for example, PNG or BMP, how can I know which format the user chose and append it to my filename?

That's a good question - I have wondered this and didn't manage to find an answer. I therefore resulted in just having separate file requesters for each format. Mind you, I only had 2 to do so it wasn't too bad. It might be a case of putting this in bug reports - getting the requestor to automatically append the file extension selected onto the end of the filename.

I'll give it a go.
