Could you please fix the problem regarding Installer (is coming from many version ago) about not translated window/items into the installer?
Why don’t pout the installer script in Translation section to ask to other guys to help you to fix it?
Thanks. -
I don’t see why the new behaviour would be OK, even if it is intended behaviour. If I select a file extension in the save dialog, I expect the file to be saved with that extension, so I do not expect to have to add it manually! It is confusing the way it is going now and it is not as expected.

I agree - incredibly annoying.
Ever since 6.8.4 - extension is not added when selecting Language before doing Save, or even choosing File Type directly in Save As dialog…~ Is there a way to turn off “modern” dialog, because this is step backwards…
+correct me if i’m wrong - but adding extension is just a few lines of code…

In the old style dialog: adding extension is just a few lines of code - that’s why it has been done.
In the new style dialog: adding extension is just a few miles of code - that’s why it is not done.This issue is still on my radar. I’ll see what I do about it.

I don’t clearly understand the motivation behind this change. IMHO, when a drop-down’s title is “Save as type”, it should allow the user to do just that: choose the type he wants his file to be saved as, not filter files in the file-view (otherwise it should have been titled something like “Extension filter”).
Nevertheless, even if there’s a reasonable motivation behind it, and I’m sure there is, the OLD behavior is a feature as well! Removal of feature X for new, “better” feature Y is not something the user should experience so unexpectedly especially when he has been using feature X for a long time.
Thus I suggest AT LEAST having an option somewhere in Notepad++ (checkbox, default unchecked) which when selected enables the old behavior - default extension = .txt, clicking save automatically appends the selected extension if one is missing :)
I honestly find the current behavior annoying too and at first I thought it was unintended behavior - i.e. a BUG, not a feature, the reason being the first phrase of this reply :) -
