I've been trying to export as .png. It displays like it's exporting (same as .bmp, jpg etc, which all work) but .png file never shows up in my folders. I've double and tripled checked folders.

Not sure if bug?

Thanks!

We haven't had any problems exporting to png, but it's dependent on a Windows codec. What OS are you running (and is it 32 or 64 bits)?

Also, did you try to export a "blank" map that just has the canvas?

Thank!

I'm running Windows 10.

Yeah I'm 100% sure canvas isn't blank. I can export it as .bmp or .jpg (or other) and works fine. Export as .png and it goes through the process but doesn't actually create a file in the folder (whereas the other export types like .bmp) the file shows up in the folder.

And I made sure saving in correct place (same spot for all files).

EDIT: On continued testing I see what the problem is. The only way I can get it to produce a .png file is I manually name it "test.png". If i name it "test" or "test.PNG" (default is .PNG on mine, with caps) it doesn't actually create the file it seems. Whereas if I save .bmp as just "test" or "test.bmp" it exports fine.

That's it! For some reason in your PC it defaults to "PNG" in upper case.
The code is telling which format codec to use from the extension, but it's only looking for the lower case, so that's the bug.

We'll fix it with the next release.

Thank you!!
