Hi,

In my SD card I have a file named "xxx.g" so after importing my model I generate the GCODE file using S3D. It opens the dialog where I want to save the GCODE file. So I click "xxx.g" and it askes me if I want to replace the filename. SURE, I want! So I click OK. After that when I open my SD card there are 2 files "xxx.g" and "xxx.gcode".

For some reason no matter the extension that I use it will ALWAYS generate a new file with the gcode extension. Even if I type ZZZ.g it still will save the file as ZZZ.gcode.

I really need to save as .g extension cause I use auto0.g files from Marlin and it only accepts .g extension so everytime I save a file using S3D I have to go do my sd card, remove the .g file and after that rename the .gcode file to .g

That works my friend but is a hack, a terrible hack. WHY cant the software allow the user to save with whichever format the user wants? Why this software (which has too many problems) creates another prolbem to the end user demanding him to sabe with .gcode extension? That's a very stupid case, whoever is programming this is clearly an idiot. I have never found a single software where you OVEWRITE a file but it creates ANOTHER FILE keeping the "OVERWRITED" file intact.

This is clearly a bug, simple and plain. Whoever keeps this terrible behaviour for some many years in this software clearly is an idiot who does not care about users. You know what? I am glad I am still in my trial, I will certainly use CURA, this software is terrible.
