Export As

I have been playing around with the daily snapshots on Windows 11 and
wondering if anyone else has encountered this as well.

When I use the Export As option (file type does not matter) say STL, in the
dialog box the filename is pre-populated with say test and the file type is
STL.  If I just click save without manually adding .stl to the end of the
filename the exported file will be save a test instead of test.stl

I tested this out on version 2024.03.05 and it saved correctly with the
extension but versions in 2025 did not seem to save with the extension and
choosing different file types did  not make any difference.
