** Description changed: - To reproduce on lubuntu 19.04 open k3b start a data project insert a - disc and add projects to a file to save to burn later. I saved the file - with the file save dialog. The file and an extension will not be added - automatically but without it will not open in k3b without manaully - setting the program to open on the particular file. A workaround is to - manually add the extension after the file. + Save dialogs don't provide an option to automatically add extensions, so + even where some application understands one particular extension, saving + a file in it doesn't result in an extension being added. + STEPS TO REPRODUCE + ================== + Originally noticed this in k3b, so: + 1. Open k3b + 2. Click "Create a New Data Project" + 3. Click "Save" + 4. Note that the file name does not have the ".k3b" extension + 5. Click ok to use the default file name + 6. Open the file manager to the save location and note the file does not have the extension - I expected to be able to open the file I saved in k3b in the file open dialog in k3b. Since it has no extension it cannot be easily opened by users. It cannot even open it in a file manager with the menu a right click in pcmanfm-qt unless I manually add the program from the list of all programs in pcmanfm-qt. + EXPECTED RESULTS + ================ + Save dialogs should at least have a checkbox providing an option to automatically add an extension. - k3b: - Installed: 18.12.3-0ubuntu1 - Candidate: 18.12.3-0ubuntu1 - Version table: - *** 18.12.3-0ubuntu1 500 - 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/universe amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + ACTUAL RESULTS + ============== + Save dialogs have no options regarding extensions and files get saved without them unless manually added. - - Description: Ubuntu Disco Dingo (development branch) - Release: 19.04 - - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.04 - Package: k3b 18.12.3-0ubuntu1 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.0.0-7.8-generic 5.0.0 - Uname: Linux 5.0.0-7-generic x86_64 - NonfreeKernelModules: wl - ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu23 - Architecture: amd64 - CurrentDesktop: LXQt - Date: Fri Mar 22 22:23:59 2019 - InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-03-05 (18 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 19.04 "Disco Dingo" - Alpha amd64 (20190304) - SourcePackage: k3b - UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + NOTES + ===== + Actually, LXQt already has code to properly manage this, but if the application doesn't have matching code, then nothing is provided. KDE works around this in a non-Qt-standard way with, k3b which is why it appears to work in Kubuntu but not in Lubuntu.
