The MC Backup file without a .zip extension
« on: May 27, 2023, 05:57:01 »
Dear Mathias,

I noticed, that a new MC backup file is created without a .zip extension. If I still need a new file I must first make a copy of the existing file, rename it, and only then use it as a new backup file.

Hmm...  works for me in MC 12.8 (build 2929) and 13.0 (build 2948).

Do you have file extensions hidden, by any chance?

I'm not able to reproduce that.
Can you explain more detailed what you are doing to make it happened

This happens only if one gives the file name other than MultiCommander_ConfigBackup, I think.

Ok so the file extension is not added when you change the name in the File picker... that strange.. I will check
