Saving Fireworks files

When you create a new document or open an existing Fireworks PNG file, the document's
filename has the extension .png. Files of other types, such as PSD and HTML, also open as
PNG files, allowing you to use the Fireworks PNG document as your source file, or working
file.
However, many files retain their original filename extensions and optimization settings when
opened in Fireworks. For more information, see
on page 27.
The location to which Fireworks defaults when you save a document is determined by the
following, in this order:
The current file location
The current export/save location, which is defined anytime you browse from the default
location in a Save, Save As, Save a Copy, or Export dialog box
The default location where new documents or images are saved on your operating system
