The bug I ran into in EOG's 'Save As' dialog was very similar to this
one. I tried to save an image opened from a web page viewed in epiphany
with the only available option 'Save As' . The file I viewed was called
fj54oyj45.tmp, trying to save it to a name without file extension proved
impossible. To avoid advertently converting the image to another
filetype I had to go back and figure out what it was before saving it
again.

Eye of Gnome is too focused on file extensions (e.g. .png, .svg, .jpg)
rather than mime-type hence this problem occurs both when saving files
as when opening them. Theres a bug about that too:

That turned out to be a known bug in Eye of Gnome and the link to the
EOG bug was provided:

"save as" should provide current name and file extension
