But regarding this one:* Don't automatically add a file name extension to the user's name.I realize that it was broken before this change because it would add the extension even if there already was one. But maybe we should still add the extension when none at all is specified? Many Windows programs, including Microsoft Word, do this. It seems more likely that the user expects an extension to be added than that the want to create a PDF, PNG, PS or SVG file without any extension. If you don't want to add the extension by default, perhaps we could just give a message such as "add .png extension to filename?" when someone tries to save w/o extension.How about this patch? It automatically updates the file name in the dialog when you change the type. So if it is "a.png" and you change the selection to PDF, it changes to "a.pdf". If you really want a different extension or no extension after that, you can edit the file name after selecting the type and no automatic changes will be made unless you change the type again. Or maybe there's a standard for how these types of save dialogs are supposed to work? I like in the GIMP how the default option is "by extension."
I added a "By extension" option to the chooser and made it the default. If you pick a different type, the file name's extension is changed automatically. If you choose "By extension" and the extension is unrecognized, you get prompted to enter another or choose a file type.
