Then user don't need manual write jpg or webp

PNG is too big, jpg or webp is much smaller, better for archives pictures
Additional information
No response
Please update the title to be more general. The editor isn't just for screenshots.
And this case:
https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery/issues/700#issue-3529203965
And this from this thread is similar.
Because threads I have notice if user use Screenshot and later Crop Mode, then in new version User can overwrite old file to the new one, but can't in the same time change extension to jpg.
User need open gallery, select Cropped Image file, and then manually change extension from png to jpg.
He can't do it on one edit and save action.
Perfect situation will be:
1 Make Screenshot
2 (select) Crop image mode
3 Crop image (smaller size)
4 Want save (show box to make action, filename and extension)
5 Select new extension jpg/webp instead of png
6 Click Save (create one edited file)
This operation create One cropped file with new extension jpg in one operation
In the Save as dialog, you can remove the "_1" suffix from the filename to write to the same file.
In the Save as dialog, you can remove the "_1" suffix from the filename to write to the same file.
Ok this is some progress for not created 2 files, and nice tips.
But work only if file are png extension (because delete "_1" from name overwrite the oryginal file)
Don't work if we change extension to other that png, because will create different file and original stay.
If there will be check box to overwrite original file if saving will be nice, then PNG will be delete and new file will create if extension will be change
Don't work if we change extension to other that png, because will create different file and original stay.
But why should it do it? It's an image editor. If you change the extension, it shouldn't remove the original file. Even if your phone uses Fossify Gallery as a default editor after creating screenshots, the app doesn't know it, and it treats that screenshot like any other file.

I talk about this because:
User make Screenshot,
then select edit Crop Tool,
Crop Image,
Want save file with new extension jpg instead of png,
Save file with jpg extension, and original gone
This will be good alternative and simple solution. App will be delete original file (check mark on check box will delete file with suffix "_1" if extension will be change) and replaced them with new edit file. So app will create only one edited file when user use Screenshot feature.
And this is why I talk about swap files, because then will overwrite original file and save modified with new extension jpg
Here will be final result:
