Cannot export to external command Paint.NET if .greenshot format is used
Description
This happens if the image was last saved as *.greenshot Or if yet unsaved and default save format (Settings>Output>Image format) is greenshot
It does not matter how you export to Paint.NET is triggered ( I tried the following that all failed: a) choosing Paint.NET in the destination popup after capture b) export from within the greenshot editor to Paint.NET c) copy to clipboard in greenshot editor, paste to Paint.NET
Suggested change: 1) Relevant destinations should have a setting for default convert to format used when exporting a file in a format not supported by that destination 2) When placing a greenshot image on the clipboard also place a the image in jpg format as alternative for apps that do not support the greenshot format (not completely sure this is possible, alternatively make settings for how greenshot format is placed on clipboard)
Environment
Windows 10 Paint.NET 4.0.12

Closing, althoug there was no reponse I must assume this was fixed.
I build a quick fix for the next bugfix release: Use .PNG instead of .greenshot, in fact the format is only an extension of .png so there should not be a huge difference.
In the future I need to rewrite the external command plugin, and add the possibility to select the format (and more).
This fix is currently not available, as soon as it is I will inform you.
