When saving a file with staroffice it is not saving with extension.

[Ravi Kumar]

Hello Sir,
 I am working with wine for some time now. I faced with a problem,
whenever i am saving a file from Windows version of Staroffice from wine
it is saved without extension. I think it is a problem with wine, as
staroffice in windows stores files with extensions. I am using
wine-20031118 version.

Can anybody help me out in this regard. I will also check out to see
if it has been solved in later versions.

Thanking in advance.

regards,
ravi.

Interesting bug report. Not sure what might cause that, but it does beg
the question - why aren't you using the native Linux version of StarOffice?

First, I think it's a good test case for wine, so it's good that he does it. 
Second, in terms of practical application, it may make sense to use
the Windows version of cross platform apps like Mozilla and StarOffice,
as they may be better optimized, less bugs, etc.

So no, I don't think this is an unreasonable thing to do.
