The EXTENSION post processing command to change the extension of a file. from "gcode" to just "g"
{EXTENSION "g"}
if the file does not exist already it will putout "file.g"
if "file.g" exsits and I say yes to overwrite it, another file "file.gcode" appears.
now there are two files "file.g" and "file.gcode".
"file.g" was not over written.

Repro...
Make the file "file.g". decrease layer height to increase layers number and increase file size. save the file again.
"file.g" does not change in size and "file.gcode" the new file is clearly larger.

I seem to remember this was a bug a while back and was fixed now it is back

Is there a place true bugs are be recoded? This Area of Trouble Shooting/Bugs I sense some bugs like this one are getting lost. This one little bug is really messing with my work flow. When the software says would you like to overwrite the file I expect it to overwrite and update. Now I have to always make sure to delete files first before I save.

I have shared this with the team, so I know they are looking into it.

Version 5.0.1 has now been released and included a fix specifically for this issue. After updating to this latest version your problem should be resolved.
