id RATLC00002732 Priority: 2 Headline: SaveAs dialog should provide file types (extensions) for the file to be saved. Description: Steps to reproduce: -> create file foo.txt -> select Save As from file menu -> type new file name and specify location -> do not specify file extension -> select OK Result: Saved As model is not a txt file any more, it looks like it is saved as xml file. Expected: I think that our user would expect by default Save As should as the original extension. NOTES:
PRODUCT VERSION: 0.9 @RATL-0.9
The native file dialogs on Win32 platforms support this. Investigate to see if this is possible. Also need to resolve extension definitions known to the workbench vs the ones known by the platform. Note, on some windows platform you can also specify the encoding which will need to be coordiated with the work that others are doing to support encoding in editors.
Reopen to investigate
The best choice might be to use the list of extensions defined in the file mappings.
The SaveAsDialog currently takes the extension of the original file and uses that.
