2015-07-13 14:52:26 Mirek Olšák summary forgetting "Guess by extension" option forgetting "Guess from extension" option
2015-07-13 14:52:54 Mirek Olšák description I really don't understand how anybody imagines using the "Guess by extension" option in the Save dialog. The option makes sense to be quickly able to select the file type just by typing the extension behing filename. It is really convenient, I am using it in the GIMP and even in the Inkscape after some personal code editing. But in the standard Inkscape the option is completely useless. Inkscape is not able to remember it. To select the "Guess by extension" option one have to select the least option in the menu (usually behind the screen) which is slower then selecting just the filetype which one want to use. And even when the option "Guess by extension" is used and then typed for example extension ".pdf" the next time saving a file the default option is "PDF", not "Guess by extension"!
