| Summary | 0004435: In the "Play Demo" window, the "Demo:" text field for netdemos filters to executable file extensions. |
| Description | In the "Play Demo" window for configuring options to play a netdemo, the folder icon (🗀) next to the "Demo:" text field is meant to select a .cld Zandronum netdemo file (and possibly other extensions for other source ports). However, the file selection pop-up only has these options for selectable file extensions:
Runnable files (*.exe;*.bat;*.com)
All files (*)
These two options are appropriate for the "Executable:" text field, but not the "Demo:" field. It should be (or similar to):
Demo files (*.lmp;*.odd;*.cld;*.ini)
All files (*) |
| Steps To Reproduce | 1: Bring up "Demo manager" (F3)
2. "Import" a netdemo.
3. Configure the various settings.
4. Click "â–º Play".
5. Click the folder icon (🗀) at the right edge of the "Demo:" field.
6. Observe the standard file extension filter options. |
| Additional Information | Product Version is 1.5.0. 1.4.1 is the highest the dropdown allows. |

The issue is remedied. I can see "Demo files (*.lmp;*.odd;*.cld)". I don't see .ini, but I'm not aware of a source port that uses that extension.
I should note, though that an "All files" option isn't provided, which could *potentially* be useful to people that do things like add .bak extension or whatever to files, or a source port adds support for a new internal format with a new extension not covered by those three. But that's a niche case, so make of it what you will.

"All files" option isn't provided
The games themselves tend to fail when the file extension is not what they expect, e.g. try to record a single player demo in Zandronum and change the extension from .lmp to .cld. The game will try to interpret it as a multiplayer dmeo. But yeah, the option should be provided just in case.
