Import asks for .database file needs .txt file

[s3thGG]

when using import file explorer needs to be set to all files instead of current default .database to accept an exported txt file.

As shown below, the export function exports a .database file.

The import function thus imports .database files by default. How come the database you are trying to import has a .txt ending?

I am not sure, when I click export I just get a txt file

Are you using Chrome or Firefox? The behavior in Firefox is as expected as shown below, but I haven't tried Chrome.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll try to fix this with the next version, but not sure whether Chrome will let me. :upside_down_face:

Seeing this on my chrome machines too. If chrome won't let you change the exported file extension, maybe just accept .txt as a valid extension on chrome?

I will fix it tonight and release a new version. Please feel free to reopen this issue should the problem persist after I released the next version. Thanks again for bringing this up. :+1:
