"File-> save as" saves as gif image if I don't add .zpr extension

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi!
I have been using zbrushcore 2021 couple of weeks and I’m loving it. One thing wonders me. If I save my project using File -> save as and leave file extension (.zpr) out from filename that measn that it saves only gif image. If I add .zpr then it saves file as zpr.

For me this seams a little bad UI behaviour. So small thing decides is project saved or only image. I often forget to add extension because I assume that project file is as default option. First step for better behaviour would be that if user leaves file extension away, it would save the project file, not image.

I’m very new to zbrush so I might not know all things yet…

Hi @Samuli_Riihikoski,

This is normal behavior in ZBrush Core. The Gif variant of the iMage3d format is the default format for ZBrush Core. It will save in this format if no other is specified. If you want to save in ZPR format, select it from the drop down menu at the time of saving. One saved in this format, it will always save in this format, via normal or quick ave, unless you change the extension.

Thank you!
