|
|
Hello David --
Maybe it is just me, but when I "Save As" with "Save as type" CSV
the file type “.csv” is not appended to the file name?
Example:
File name: xyz
Results in a file name “xyz” and not “xyz.csv” and thus double clicking the file to launch Excel is not possible.
DPlot Version 2.3.2.3
Thanks, --len |

Len,
The only way I can get that behavior is by adding a dot, as in
"filename."
A filename with no dot and no extension results in a .CSV extension. And this isn't even DPlot doing that - it is the default behavior for the Open common dialog. (So blame MS )
If you want to experiment, send me the file %APPDATA%\DPlot\dplot.ini. Perhaps I've overlooked something... but honestly I don't see how. _________________ Visualize Your Data

Thanks David.
I guess it was me, or maybe Version 2.3.2.3
I just downloaded Version 2.3.2.5 and a test case worked, i.e. the .cvs was added to the filename.
Keep up the good work! --len |

Hello David –
OK I found the problem:
If the filename contains a period “.” then the .csv is not appended.
Example: filename “CAB-0.2m” is NOT written as “CAB-0.2m.csv”
I am not sure if this is under your control. --len |

In that case the Open dialog sees the extension as ".2m", and honestly I don't see how it could decide any differently. Put another way, if you typed "filename.txt", I don't think you'd want it to be forced to "filename.txt.csv".
I'm not sure why Windows allows a period in a filename, but I don't want to get all preachy about it _________________ Visualize Your Data
