Thanks for that ppw1 - I added that list to the bug thread: http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_b ... id=1355#c6

After some further research, it's a limitation of wxWidgets, that you cannot get at the wxFileDialog filename to change it, at least not from wxWidgets.

I have added some code that spots that the extension has changed, but there is no way to hook that in to changing the filename.
https://github.com/JamesCrook/audacity/ ... 4f3ef13302

So what could we do?
1. Wait for wxWidgets to provide a way to change the filename programmatically OR
2. Re-Write the wxFileDialog ourselves (not going to happen). OR
3. Rejig our 'Other uncompressed files' Exporter so that all its header options are separately in the FileDialog Type drop down, and 'Other Uncompressed files' disappears as a separate option. That's a major rejig and beyond the scope of this bug.

So all in all that makes this a WONTFIX.

Thanks! /s

I just want to point that this used to work, i.e. the functionality was there, fully functional and bug-free.

Perhaps that was with wxWidgets 2.8 (now obsolete). Audacity now uses wxWidgets 3.1, which has major differences to the 2.x series. The update was essential in order to support newer versions of Windows and macOS.
