Hi Andrew.

Sometime ago with previous versions of NS I was able to save results with the same name in different formats; now that's only possible using a different name for later renaming.

This is what I do:

  1. Open save as results window
  2. Write a file name then choose XML files
  3. Press save button (Same behavior as previous)
  4. Now the difference - Open again save as results window
  5. Select the previously saved file (No need to write again the same name)
  6. Pick another format - This time CSV files
  7. Press save button - Then a message to overwrite the previously saved XML file - In previous versions NS saved the file in the selected format without problem.

Thanks in advance for your concern to these matters.

I guess it's either related with a newer version of Windows or a change in the underlying component library the app is based upon. Somehow clicking a file name remembers its extension too.

As a workaround you can try typing the file name once, copying it to the clipboard and each time you want to save in a different format paste it in the dialog.
