Incomplete filename saved to OS's "Recent Files"
Create a blank file and save it, typing a filename like "a". Gummi adds the appropriate extension, and a file "a.tex" is created on disk. However, in the operating system's list of "Recent Files"/"Recent Documents", "a.tex" does not appear, but only "a", which is a nonexistent file.
I'm running Gummi 0.6.5 on Linux Mint 17.3.
Very annoying issue. I briefly looked into how other GTK projects that write files with specific extensions handle this. They either a) don't, b) auto-fill in a document name including extension c) apply some hack using GtkRecentManager. For now I have only added a patch with solution b, but I consider this a partial fix. Will revisit this later!
Thanks!
