Cannot save to .x3g when using 2 color prints

Hi,

I cannot save to .x3g when using 2 color prints:

I worked on a project with 2 .stl files, basically following this tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPufaJhyqME

Now, when I select
"Prepare to Print!"
and select the 2 processes "Color1" and "Color2"
and then "Save Toolpath to Disk"

=> I get a popup with title "Save G-Code Output".
When i save the file, i only get a .gcode file and not .x3g

If I only do one color at a time, everything is fine.
Is this normal? What's the best way to deal with this situation?

It works fine for me. Are you using version 3.1.0? Did you make sure to select the correct machine profile in the dual extrusion wizard?

Thanks for the response. After fighting with this for a bit, I ended up reseting my software and was able to get things working afterwards.
