And I would be extremely careful with changing what the user has input... Appending the extension of the selected type is the normal behavior, this is just a matter of being consistent. You could consider adding a warning dialog that lets the user know the file is saved with the selected type instead of what corresponds to the manually typed extension, maybe even let the user choose. I'd say this is something that can be considered for the future, but as an immediate fix to the current situation, which is absolutely wrong, adding the correct extension would be enough.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
