            Bug ID: 143038
           Summary: TIP: KEEP ORIGINAL EXTENSION NAME IN .BAK FILES
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: cartonjeston at gmail.com

Description:
When you check the option to save backup copies of a file, remove the original
extension and put .BAK. When recovering the file, it would be easier to know
what type of file it was simply by reading the name, even for novice users. 



Actual Results:
TEST.ODS -> TEST.BAK

Expected Results:
TEST.ODS -> TEST_ods.BAK


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
For example, a spreadsheet called TEST.ODS, when making the copy it would be
called TEST.BAK but it could well not remember or not know if it was ODS, XLS
or any other.

Ideally, TEST.ODS should be saved as TEST_ods.BAK and it would be very easy for
anyone to recover.

Also, if you use it together with the version control of Google Drive (it adds
a number in front of the name), it is very easy to drag the read-only BAK to
the desktop, rename it and check its content.
