New ContributorModelSim Wave Image Export Error - image file format "bmp" is unknown
I am using Quartus Prime Lite 20.1.1 with ModelSim Intel Starter Edition 2020.1 Revision 2020.02.
No matter what image format I select, if I try to export an image from Wave, I get the error:
image file format "bmp" is unknown
Is anyone else having issues exporting Wave images?

That's weird...I also get the same thing.
Let's me check with the engineering team on this.
For now, please use snipping tool or screenshot as a workaround.
Pietro4Me and my mates have the same problem, I can't even print a readable file.
The only way is to print a pdf file but that's not what I need.

Hi Pietro4,
May I know what do you meant by "I can't even print a readable file."? Is the issue related to Modelsim? Could you help to describe more on this? Appreciate if you could share the screenshot.
Best Regards,
Richard

This is a valid bug in Window OS and engineering will fix this in the future release.
As of now, the current workaround is to run the Modelsim/Questa Intel Edition simulator in Linux OS or you may use third party vendor tool to export the wave image.
If these is no further help needed, I will proceed to close this case.
Best Regards,
