To reproduce: 1) open a file in write 2) File->Save As 3) Impose a filename 4) Try to change the saving format 5) See that the filename stays the same including the extension you can easily end up in saving a file in docx format with the odt extension or viceversa.
Hi Sergio, Thanks for your report. I do not see the problem. What Linux distro? What file browser (Tools > Options > General) Can you post a screen print of the dialog? thanks, Cor
Hi, - I am using LibO 5.1.0.2 on Kubuntu 15.10. - I use the Libreoffice file dialogs because I find the system ones to be extremely bad for the Insert->Image stuff where you basically cannot get a preview of what you are inserting. The steps to reproduce the issue on my system are extremely easy. The minimal example showing that the extension is not plugged in automatically is the following: 1) libreoffice5.1 --writer 2) Put some text in the page 3) File->Save as 4) Keep all the defaults and press save You get a file in the odt format with name "Untitled 1". You should get "Untitled 1.odt"
Check 'automatic file name extension'? Screen shot?
OK... completely missed that... sorry about the noise, please close.
OK ... ;)
