BibDesk does preserve the file extension. But of course BibDesk must know about the extension. If the extension is missing then either: - you did not provide the extension in the save panel you get when it downloads (this is an important reason we show this panel in the first place, and note that the server does not always tell us the MIME type of the downloaded file) - your auto-file format does not preserve the extension (if you use the auto-file feature) Christiaan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
