[opensource-dev] SnapshotFormat should not be hidden away in a debug setting.

Yea, for in the ancient days, to save snapshot to disk one had to set
an advanced menu setting (IIRC) and they were saved as BMP...which
was annoying, because they were large.  Then in latter days a function
was added to allow "Compress Snapshot" which saves as Lossless PNG,
and All Was Good.

Now in these recent times, by default, if you hit your Ctrl+~
shortcut, the snapshot is saved as lossy jpg, which is NOT good if
one intends on editing and re-saving.  I am aware that there is said
Debug Setting, but I had to find out about it on my own because said
change was not "discoverable".  I'm also aware that the Snapshot,
Shift-Ctrl-S popup lets one choose the save format...but I never use
that unless I want to save to inventory immediately for a quick
image.  For my blog images, I always use Ctrl-~
