| Summary | 0001760: FC fails to load a *.FCStd file if the filename lacks the *.FCStd file extension | ||||
| Description | FC allows you to save a part with a filename lacking the file extension, which is typical *nix behavior. However, when you then try to open the file next time, FC silently fails to open it. After a quick `mv' command to append the file extension to the filename, FC will then load the file as expected. Possible solutions: 1. Don't rely on the file extension when opening a file, or 2. Do not permit a file to be saved without the proper file extension. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Open FC, load part workbench 2. Create a simple, properly-constrained, closed sketch. 3. Extrude a solid from the sketch. 4. Save file as `riser.test' 5. Close FC, then reopen FC 6. Open `riser.test'; it will silently fail. 7. Rename `riser.test' to `riser.test.FCStd' 8. Open `riser.test.FCStd'; it will open as expected. | ||||

One example would be that we could not open our own backup files FCStd1 ... > 1. Don't rely on the file extension when opening a file That would means to rely on mimetypes and magic files. This would be a huge redesign. And there are differnt mechanisms to open files form the GUI, or by passing the name as an argument (or from python) > 2. Do not permit a file to be saved without the proper file extension. That should be limited to the GUI. |

I also don't know how if/how far not relying on the extension is possible on windows... |
