[texworks] on Xp pro first Save does not add fileextension

[Paul A Norman]

Bonjour Alain,

Thank you for that.

As that decission has been taken, may I suggest that the file extension be
shown as *.* and the filter description be something like:

     "Add an .extsn (.tex)"

  - or something?

In Delphi that entry would be:

     " Add an .extsn (.tex) | *.* "

I'm sorry but I don't have C skills or I would offer to help.

I'm sure that everyone knows, but for the Win32 version, showing an
intended extension, and then not applying it, is non-conformist Windows
programing.

Breaks the styles rules of meeting reasonible user expectations.

Paul
