#236 closed enhancement (fixed)

Export windows should offer a default filename with extension

Description

Save dialog should be pre-filled with something like export.xml, export.rtf, etc. At the moment it would be pretty easy for users to create extension-less files that they then can't open.

actually, users should be able to open extension-less files (the import filters should all have detectCode), but your point is valid. the problem is, if the user switches the format, I can't switch the extension, because Firefox's save dialogs don't offer much in the way of functionality. should i presume that, if the user wants something besides the default export format, that he'll change the extension himself?

(I meant if they try to open it elsewhere in the OS.)

Yeah, I guess just using the default and hoping they change it themselves if they use a different format is the best we can do--I notice that's what happens with Firefox's Save Page As dialog.

Annoying.
