issues when saving files - no automatic extension added in dialog

Community matplotlib-users

Hello all,

I'm developing a software for Geology, using wxpython for the GUI.
When I want to export any graphics, clicking on the
"save" button on the MPL toolbar, I get a dialog to save the file
(with a default "image.png" filename) and where I
can choose between some file formats. When I select any format from
the drop-down list, I expected it to change the extension
of the file on the dialog, but it doesn't. So I have to set it up
manually. Is this a bug?

thanks

Yes. It works correctly with gtk, but it looks like there are problems with wx and qt4.
