Also, could you please add this to the ticket description?
4. Whether to overwrite output file silently - If true, then overwrite output file silently. If false, then ask before overwrite.
because I have no right to edit it. Thanks

Because I often need to edit my screenshots, I decided to set the default screenshot format to .greenshot.
Also, it is not a good solution to set the default format to png and then use the “Save objects to file“ function to save my edits, because
(a) I often need to re-edit my screenshots,
(b) the Greenshot image editor won’t auto load the objects I saved with the “Save objects to file“ function,
(c) it is time wasting and unsafe to use the “Load objects from file” because it requires many clicks and also I may wrongly choose the objects that belong to other screenshot.
So in conclusion, I have changed the default screenshot format to .greenshot, because this format can contain all my edits in one file, and won’t leave a chance for me to mess up the ownership of my edits for each screenshot.Now that I captured the screenshot as .greenshot file, and I have done my edits and saved. Next, I want to attach the edited screenshot to some website which doesn't support pasting image from clipboard (so, "Copy image to clipboard" is not an option here). Of course, I cannot upload the .greenshot file to the website, because no browser supports displaying this format. So, I want to export it as png, and every day, I have to take and edit many screenshots, so I need to export to png several times. And that's why I want some faster option to export as png.
Not all people prefer PNGs, so to generalize this function, I suggest what the Description says.
I may need to export the screenshot to multiple formats, or to multiple paths. Not at the same time, but at different times. So it’s good to save multiple presets.

Just so I understand, you want to write the screenshot in multiple formats at the same time?
If this is you wish, can you explain why someone wants to do that, so I understand what the reasoning behind this is? It will help me to understand if this is an edge case, or something more for the masses.

One more option for the export presets:
4. Whether to overwrite output file silently - If true, then overwrite output file silently. If false, then ask before overwrite.

Currently, to export a .greenshot file to PNG/JPEG, one has to click Save As --> Change the file extension --> Change file name to be the same name as original .greenshot file --> Save. This is a bit too slow if one needs to do this several times every day.
Please provide a faster way export .greenshot file. Perhaps allow saving some presets of export settings, such as:
1. File name pattern - Either following the same name as original .greenshot file, or some patterns.
2. Format - PNG, JPEG, BITMAP, etc. or ask every time. For JPEG, please allow to specify the quality as well.
3. Destination folder - Either following the folder of original .greenshot file, or some specified folder, or ask every time.
