Automatically detect and use current filetype when saving a new file

Reported by Martin Frost | December 25th, 2010 @ 05:47 PM

The save dialog seems to restrict what filetypes I can use for my files based on what file type I choose in the "File format" dropdown menu. This is quite annoying for me, since I usually prefer not having to use a mouse.

What I did:

I created a new ruby class, and pressed cmd+s for save. In the filename field in the save dialog I entered foo_bar.rb, and then I pressed enter.

What I expected to happen:

I expected the file to be saved as a ruby file (with a .rb extension).

What actually happened:

I got an error message saying: 'You cannot save this document with extension ".rb" at the end of the name. The required extension is ".adb"'.
