Yes, I did. But I expect to not getting a warning, as the file I loaded
was ended with .wav, but the name Audacity suggest for exporting lacks it.

I think the .wav is stripped while loading, so the project is named
my.file.without.suffix, but when exporting, Audacity thinks I want the
suffix .suffix, which of course is senseless. When editing a lot of
audio files, this sucks because you have to retype the suffix by hand
every time.

My suggestion: when Audacity creates a project by importing one file, it
should name the project after the file, and not strip the suffix.

thanks very much
