Under Windows in the system file selector, the file extension is never changed 
to the correct file format when I select an export format, although I make sure 
automatic file extension is checked. 
The extension of the filename suggestion is the one that was set when the file 
selector. In Draw, this is always .html - quite irritating.
Maybe a solution would be always to suggest a filename without extension.

Dietrich, thank you for using and supporting OOo.

Could you please clarify your comments?  I'm not sure what 
enhancement you would like.

My guess is that you want OOo to append the right file extension to 
filename, listed in the "File name:" field in the save dialog box.

Right now after selecting the save format, the filename retains the 
original extension.

Please note, the "Automatic file extension" feature does work if the 
filename does not contain a file extension.

This is a known issue.  I missed it before.

Marked as "Won't fix" in issue 2543.

In that issue, it was suggested that the user could try using the OOo 
native dialogs.

Sorry Thorsten and Falko for the dup.
