Bug Description
In my window's titlebar it says the version is "Pcbnew 4.0.2+e4-
After I was done working with my layout I generated the plot & drill files. For the Edge.Cuts layer, the file extension given to is was `gm1` instead of `gml`. I'm not sure if this was a typo or something, but when I tried to upload by board to a fab service, they gave me the error "No board boundary detected."
When I renamed the extension for the edge cuts to `gml` and re-uploaded it the fab service accepted the boards with no issue and the preview looked correct.

Hm. There are different naming schemes here, there's .GML which is "Gerber, Mechanical Layer" and .GM1 which is "Gerber, Mechanical #1". I've seen fabs expect either one of those. Wonder which is standard...
