Oh, and just to add one other thing:

Why, in the "File->Save as..." dialog do other graphical file formats 
appear in the file browsing?  If this is to be a consistent behavior, 
why taunt the user (and his expectations) by showing them *.JPG and 
other files and then not allow them to save in that format?  When you 
try, a dialog box comes up saying "nope!  you want to do that, go do 
this other thing."  Imagine being at an intersection on the road, then 
turning right only to find a sign appears saying "you can't turn right 
here" *after* you made the turn already!

If the purpose is to upset people, then it's working.  If the purpose is 
to educate people about something, then the message was lost with 
confusion and negative emotional response.
