Changing a file extension inside the code

[fortyhideout12]

yeah that was easy.

Except It brings up a save dialogue right away now when I open up a file.

I need the program to automatically change the extension...

Ehm, than change the code of the save method. Or create another function which saves a file without poping up a file dialog.
