Hello, While ironing out the kinks in the upcoming version of Molsketch with the upstream developer, we noticed that we weren't seeing the same dialogs. He is on KDE (OpenSuSE) and I was testing in GNOME and MATE. Molsketch has an option to save a single molecule/structure with the .msk extension. Under KDE, the extension appears in the file dialog and is automatically appended to the file name. This does not happen under GTK. He installed Fedora in a VM and ran some tests: > Now for the file extensions: the filter I pass to the "save file" dialog is > "Molsketch default (*.msk *.msm)". On my system (KDE, OpenSUSE 15.0 or 42.3, > depending on the machine), this is shown as "Molsketch default" and there is a > checkbox for appending the default extension (.msk). For the "save a molecule" > dialog, the same applies for ".msm". Now, when I try the same thing on Fedora > (Gnome, I guess), it also shows "Molsketch default" (so, without the > extension) for the filter in the dialog. When I save something, however, it > does not add any extension. Comparing that to the default text editor (gedit), > this seems to be expected behavior: I can select "All Text Files" and there > will be no extension appended (on the other hand, that really seems to be what > the filter selects -- not *.txt, as I would have expected).

On my system, I can simply pass "Molsketch default > (*.msk) (*.msk *.msm)" to have "Molsketch default (*.msk)" displayed.

Can anyone help with this?
