New wiki without .html extension creates several bugs on Linux

Accidentally used the "New Wiki" button to create a new wiki without the .html extension (because I mistakenly assumed the extension would be auto-added), and discovered that this creates several bugs on Linux. First, when the new wiki is opened (as a text file, of course), the resulting window is uncloseable. Second, if, after doing this, you close the main TiddlyDesktop window and try to open it again, it also opens as a text file.

I confirm this bug. I did the same with the same results.

I've also encountered this problem. It matches the underlying behaviour of Chrome: if one renames a TiddlyWiki file without an extension and opens it in Chrome it will display as plain text. There's no obvious way for TiddlyDesktop to force Chrome to see the file as HTML, but it would make sense to enforce the .html extension when creating a new wiki. I'm intending to work on an update to TiddlyDesktop over the next few weeks and will look at it then.
