SUMMARY
Spectacle saves files as HEIC despite file extension and settings, via command
line or via GUI.

Image")
--- or ---
via CLI:
+ $ spectacle -nbfo screenshot.png
OBSERVED RESULT
+ image can't be open by gwebview,
+ Python's Pillow ImageGrab crashs (PIL.UnidentifiedImageError: cannot
identify image file '/tmp/tmpxe7zk.png')
+ executing "file" reveals the image is anyway HEIC:
$ file screenshot.png: ---> ISO Media, HEIF Image HEVC Main or Main Still
Picture Profile
EXPECTED RESULT
1) save the file in the format specified by the extension / or by the "save as"
dialog
or
2) force the user choose image format upon save.

P.s.
1) Some web results said it was fixed in 2018, but it isn’t.
I’ve updated my system several times in the past year, and this bug still
exists.
2) it doesn't crash by itself, but it leads to crash in other programs and
image viewers can't open file,
user must do extra step of converting - which requires going to command line,
installing converter, etc.)
