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 "► 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. |

Quote 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. |
