[SimulIDE 2.0.0] Can't save any project

I use windows and I recently installed SimulIDE 2.0.0 after using 1.1.0 for a while because I needed access to the 74HC14 integrated circuit.

The simulation worked well, no errors present, but when I tried to save the project the file type was ".sim*" and didn't try to save at all, I tried typing ".sim2", ".sim1" and ".sim" manually but an error message appeared every single time stating that these weren't valid file names.

I tried re-installing version 2.0.0, having version 1.1.0 installed whilst keeping 2.0.0 and just keeping 2.0.0 in my computer, but nothing seemed to fix the issue, the file still wants to save as a ".sim*".

Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? I use the program for academic purposes and it's honestly the best I've found, so any help is appreciated

Hi. Thanks for reporting.

I could reproduce the issue (some times) in Windows.
Seems that the Windows file dialog decides by itself if a file name is ok or not.

By now you can try to set the filter to "*.* All files"
That seems to work for me.

It works, thank you.

I'll keep using this method in the meantime while I'm in need of using 2.0.0.
