<p>Looks like something is happening and it is including a newline before<br>
the file extension. Use the arrow keys to move right/down inside the<br>
file name box and you'll see what I mean.</p>
<p>Is that right?</p>

"Hide Extension" doesn't change the file extension, just whether it's visible. macOS hides most extensions by default.</p>

<p>I turned off suggest filenames. Now when I save with hide ext checked it saves the file as multimarkdown. If I save with hide ext un-checked it gives me untitled.txt. It seems like it should save the file as a txt file checked or un-checked?</p>

you can verify the proper extension.</p>
<p>I'll keep looking at it.</p>

The OS was overriding the specified extension with the default for the file UTI, <em>unless</em> the extension was visible, in which case it worked.</p>
<p>I rewrote the relevant code, and now it works whether the extension is visible or not.</p>
<p>Available in 4.0.2 (I needed to get 4.0.1 submitted for more urgent issues). So it will still be a few days.</p>
<p>But in the meantime, leave the "hide extension" button unchecked, and all should be fine.</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
