You have a point here... ;) But this makes me think on the difference between "Save As" and "Export": if you create a cvs file from a spreadsheet document I think you are "exporting" it, not just "saving us" because you are losing format and properties like formulas, etc. I think that those specially ambiguous file types belongs to "Export" (which is now pretty empty), not to "Save / Save As". By reorganizing "Export" and "Save / Save As" it is possible to let the file extension option on the Export dialogue and erase it from "Save / Save As". Does this make sense? Regards Ricardo
