No export file type selector on Linux Cinnamon

Open jasonculligan opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Linux Mint 22.1. When I select "Export..." I get a standard file dialog, so I just enter the file name but there's no file type extension to indicate what type of exports are supported:

So I then get this message after clicking "Save"...

Now, I must take note of the types and then go back and so it again and manually include the desired and supported file type extension.

It would be better if you include the supported export file types as a selector in the dialog, similar to how you do it in the save and open menu options.

Unfortunately, I had to disable this for Linux in https://github.com/mb21/panwriter/commit/7a0a9335b1d836b0a88fa524f936210b8b1d3a44 due to the Electron bug https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/21935

(see https://github.com/mb21/panwriter/issues/114#issuecomment-2226834675 for discussion)
