Still exporting without extensions

[tobymikle]

Adobe Illsutrator and Photohsop will intermittently save without the .ext

Clients will not be able to open files without .extention 

I should not have to manually change every extention

when I am saving and a PNG add .PNG to my file

when I am saving and a GIF add .GIF to my file

when I am saving and a AI add .AI to my file

when I am saving and a JPG add .JPG to my file

etc...

Please upldate your software, it's been 20 years and you still have the same bugs!

how this happened with you? when you save an ai file, .ai will be added automatically. 

when you export to PNG or JPG it will be added also, you dont have to add it manually!!

i was wonderinng if you remove for example the .ai when you name the file!!??

Try typing just a name in the filename and it wont automatically add your extention.

This is something you shouldn't have to worry about if your already specifying the filetype.

[innovative_adventurer5D56]

yes, even if you type the name with removing the .ai, automatectlly will add the extension, this is strange!!

do you show the extensions for all your files?? what are the system you use?

[tobymikle]

I use the latest updated Adobe software, I have three mac pros. I save files constantly and 1 out of every 20 has no extention. Clients will say I can't open the files, so I save to change the name to .whatever and then it works.

It doesnt always happen, just intermittently, at least once a day.

In the Finder > Finder Preferences > Show all filename extensions?

Thanks, but it's not me or my computers, this has been happening for over a decade. 

It's definately a software bug.
