Saving project removes file extension

Hi

I'm running v1.2.8.601 which i believe is the latest release. If I open a project, change it and then save either by File --> save project or Ctrl+Shift+S then a new file is saved without any extension.
Similarly if I create a new project and save it by File --> Save project as...the resulting file doesn't have any extension.
These files are then obviously not associated with MultiScript.

Regards,

Matt

    Hi mjharper,

    Thanks for posting on the Redgate forums.

    Is this consistent across all projects? Do you have Multi script on two machines that you can test on?

    When I test this locally on my machine I do get the .smsproj extension consistently.

    This happens with all projects. Unfortunately I don't have a second machine to test on.

    Hi mjharper.

    If you uninstall and re-install multi-script does this behaviour continue?

    I've tried a few things locally but I have still been unable to replicate this.

    Uninstall/re-install didn't make any difference I'm afraid!

    Thanks

    Hi mjharper,

    Can you send over a screenshot of the project folder? We still haven't been able to reproduce this or found an obvious root cause.

    Also, do the project names contain any special characters?

    Hi mjharper,

    Thank you very much for the video. So the problem is that some of your filenames have a . in them. For example

    Loads.stuff.smsproj

    when saved will be saved as Loads.stuff. Essentially multi-script is seeing .stuff as a file extension and strips the .smsproj off the end. The short term workaround would be to remove . from filenames. I will raise a bug internally but I can't give any guarantees of when or if this will be resolved.

    haha - that makes sense. I'll update the names to get around the problem for now. Thanks.

    Hi mjharper,

    I have raised this with an internal reference of SE-744. I will update this post when I receive some further information.
