F1 Menu Snapshots ignores Config->Options->SShots

When you go into the F1 menu to take a snapshot, the Image Format in that menu seems to ignore whatever option is selected in the Config->Options->SShots option. This happens on SVN 4426 under Windows and *nix. I'm thinking that even though the image format was added to the Options dialog box, it was never removed from the F1 Menu yet. But I thought it'd be best to bring it up, just in case it wasn't noticed yet.

It is not ignored, please check thoroughly please. The only instance where the option is completely ignore is if you compiled w/o PNG support.

Something isn't working right, then, because I have PNG selected in the Options dialog box, but I can still select BMP in the F1 Menu and the snapshot created is indeed BMP, not PNG. It WILL create a PNG if I choose PNG in the F1 Menu, but it's using the F1 Menu's Image Format, not what I've selected in the Options dialog box.

Um, the purpose of having the option in the GUI, is so that people find it, instead of having to ask about where that option is hidden. Both menus change said option.

Strange, because I had it set to PNG and it still said BMP the first time I went into the F1 Menu. But I do see now that you are right about both locations being updated. It wasn't acting like it at first, but maybe I really didn't look hard enough.
