Description Robert Hairgrove 2020-08-01 14:01:30 UTC 
SUMMARY
After saving the project file, the filters shown are set to *.xmi. The user can enter a file name, but if no extension is added, it will not be found in the next session when browsing for .xmi files. This can be very confusing because most other applications will add the extension automatically, and users tend to expect that behavior.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Save a project under any name without typing the extension ".xmi";
2. Close Umbrello, then open it again;
3. Try to open the file which was saved in the previous session.

OBSERVED RESULT
The file previously saved is not shown when browsing for it because the file dialog has no filter "All files (*)" in addition to the "*.xmi." rule.

EXPECTED RESULT
The saved file should be shown as an .xmi file.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux Ubuntu 18.04.4
Qt Version: 5.x

Actually, this has to do with the mangling of the file filters when the Gnome/Gtk native file dialog is used:

Perhaps this could be a user-configurable option to add the .xmi part automatically?
