You are right. So this bug can be closed.

Just a remark. I myself think the current windows is a bit confusing. I would prefere a combined box for viewing and saving. But this kind of stuff is a personal feeling.

It follows the file type selected by the file type radio box (in the bottom left hand corner). If "Portable File" is selected, then the extention is ".por". If "System File" is selected, then the extention is ".sav".

The Combo box in the lower right hand corner is for the purposes of previewing existing file types.

The steps I did: (the buttons/commands could have another name as I see them translated and translated them back to english)

- open PSPPIRE
- Create a new variable
- enter "1" in the first case
- click "file"
- click "save as"
- type "test" in de "name" box
- switch from "System files (*.sav)" to
"Portable files (*.por)"
- click "save"

I would expect to see the file "test.por" but instead, "test.sav" is created.

Version: master-20081108 but expect to be in all versions

When I save a data file without extension and have the filter for "Portable File (*.por)", the file is saved with the .sav extension. This should be .por.
