[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] Re: #247 Missing File Name Extensions

[John <uni...@us...>]

Hi Bernard,
  It sounds like this is not happening to you. Thank you for confirming this; it gives me hope I can get this resolved.

  Yes, I am familiar with the Hide Extension checkbox. When I first noticed the problem, I immediately checked to see if that was the problem. However, there is no such checkbox in Alpha’s Save As dialog box. Also, if that were the issue, the extension would still be there, so Alpha would correctly color the text. It does not in this case.

  I am using Alpha 9.2.2 on a 2019 MacBook Pro running macOS Catalina (10.15.7).

  What steps can I take to diagnose this issue?

Best,
John

Every time I try to create a copy of a document by choosing Save As from the file menu, the Save dialog defaults to the old file name without the extension. How do I get it to keep the same file name? Ideally, the save dialog would have the exact same name as the old file with just the name selected (not the period and not the extension).

The latest version of Alpha does not seem to like file name extensions. Every time I try to create a copy of a document by choosing Save As from the file menu, the Save dialog defaults to the old file name without the extension. How do I get it to keep the same file name? Ideally, the save dialog would have the exact same name as the old file with just the name selected (not the period and not the extension).
