Description thorsten.martens 2008-08-29 14:36:36 UTC 
This is a follow-up issue to i92438 which has been fixed in cws hotmac for OOo3.0. 

F.e.: Select a filter (f.e. *.ott) then type "*.a" in the file name box and hit
enter. Then type "Testdocument" and click Save. The selected filter is not
changed (because there's no filter matching *.a) and an extension is
automatically added by the Vista Filepicker Dialog. But it's not .ott the
Filename returned is "Testdocument.a".

Once the dialog further calls to SetDefaultExtension break the functionality of
automatically adjusting the extension along with the selected filter. Calling
SetDefaultExtension with an empty string removes the autoextension feature.
Calling it with an extension enables it but the extension is not adjusted along
with the filter.

Using SetOptions with FOS_STRICTFILETYPES does not help. Without an
autoextension everything is fine. But calling SetFeaultExtension( "ODT" )
results in appending .ODT.ODT to the filename.

Accepted.

Not enough time to fix for 3.1. Beside that there's no way to make Vista behave
as desired. The resolution would be to handle the default extension by OOo code
to override Vistas default.

cd: Please take over.
Comment 4 carsten.driesner 2009-09-14 12:10:44 UTC 
cd: Needs too much effort.

cd: I have too much issues to fix all of them for OOo 3.2.  Due to missing time
this issue must be moved to the next release OOo 3.3.

Comment 7 Martin Hollmichel 2011-03-15 21:00:14 UTC 
set target to 3.x since not release relevant for 3.4 release.
