Saving: fileextensions not recognized correctly

[AND51]

Hello!

Trying to save a file named "TP PToject Manager 2.5" fails. The PB IDE thinks that ".5" is the fileextension, but this is not true. I explicitely selected ".pb or sometimes ".pbi" in the file pattern list, but it still doesn't work.
In other programs (Paint, Notepad) it works.

When saving it give it the filename 'TP PToject Manager 2.5.pb' with the typed on the end. The editor won't add another '.pb' extension so the file name will be ok.

> with the typed ".pb" on the end
I know. But this is somehow annoing...?!

[Derek]

Yeah, I know, but if you get used to typing it in all the time it soon becomes second nature and it saves having to check if the extension box is still set right, to .pb I mean.

[AND51]

Hm... Yes, you're right.

[PB]

Well, other apps add the right extension so the PureBasic IDE should too.

Be careful!

Try to save a HTML file with Notepad, for example. Typing "index.html" doesn't work, unless you choose "All files" as file pattern.

In this case, the PB IDE behaviour would be better.

But Notepad does not have the mistake that it interpretes ".5" as pattern.

All in all, I agree with you, PB.

This is how it's done in most applications:

Code: Select all

If (Left(name, 1) #DOUBLEQUOTE$ And Right(name, 1) = #DOUBLEQUOTE$) Or pattern = allfiles
  name = stripQuotes(name)
  savefile(name)
Else
  ext = firstextensionincludingdotinselectedpattern()
  If Right(name, Len(ext)) = ext
    savefile(name)
  Else
    savefile(name + ext)
EndIf

Of course, savefile() needs to check if the filename is a valid filename.
