[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60214] Save and Run drops last character of filename for new scripts

[Torsten Lilge]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #60214 (project octave):

Changeset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c24e190ae34f prevents
running a new file that was not saved as octave file.

However, another issue showed up when using native file dialogs
(Debian/GNOME): When entering a file name without extension, let's say 'foo',
an already existing file 'foo.m' is overwritten without warning! Obviously,
the file dialog does not consider the automatically appended extension '.m'
when checking for the existence of the file to be saved. But it warns if the
file without extension 'foo' already exists even though it would not overwrite
this file. Non-native file dialogs work well.

Therefore, another patch related for "save files as ..." will follow with a
manual warning after the (native) file dialog was closed and the file already
exists.
