When you save a session for the first time, the save window doesn't display the file extension, only the session name.
So, if Qtractor is configured to save as .qtr by default (for example), MyProject.qtr doesn't appear; only MyProject does.
The problem is that even if you select a different format from the dropdown menu (qtt, for example), because it doesn't have the extension, it still saves as qtr.
It took me ages to realize that it wasn't my mistake when saving, since we generally want to save in the default format.
I think it would be solved if the default extension were added when saving. Then, the extension would change without issue when selecting a different format from the dropdown menu.
Regards and thanks for everything.
re. Minor inconvenience when saving projects...
yep, that's a long one, at least a decade long one :)
problem is, specially when saving a file, there isn't a known way to tell which filter is selected by the user when he/she hits the "Save" button (that I know at least).
I'll try to revisit this over to the QFileDialog docs or even ask the LLMs for some solution that doesn't end in a full rewrite of the file-requester dialogs all from scratch ;))
cheers
