Export problem with AppImage 0.8.4 on Linux Slackware

[fhouweli]

Hi,
when trying to export my document to html, the pandoc command has an empty --to argument (and therefore --standalone is interpreted as a format.

I cannot reproduce... what's the exact input you were using?

[fhouweli]

Thanks for looking into it. My working file is called "sql.md". When I choose "Export..." a dialog opens with "sql" in the "Name" field (highlighted/selected) and "HTML" in the select box below. Changing the file format with the select box does not add an extension in the "Name" input field. Pressing "Export" causes the error. **HOWEVER**, if I manually add ".html" to the filename, the export succeeds! It is just a problem of the (stupid?) user thinking the file extension would be added automatically. I really enjoy using PanWriter. Regards frans

that's odd. because it does for me on macOS. are you on the latest PanWriter version?

can you reproduce on other linux distros?

I am on latest Panwriter and I can confirm same problem exists on Mint Linux 19.3.

hm.. we're just using electron's dialog.showSaveDialog filters option.

you're saying only the default name is missing the html extension (that we could probably fix in PanWriter)? And when you switch to an other format in the dropdown the extension is added?

[fhouweli]

No, switching to another format has no effect.

uh, that seems like an Electron bug then, because all we get back is the filePath, so if that doesn't change when you change the dropdown, there's nothing we can do in PanWriter to fix it...

I'll try to update to the newest Electron version soonish... maybe they have fixed it already...

got exactly the same issue with panwriter 0.8.4 freshly installed at Manjaro Linux ... none of the formats can be exported. Will it be posted here, when a fix is available?
