When exporting data to a charset, map or tile colors, currently a suffix like "_charset" is added to the entered filename.

e.g. "game.bin" gets changed to "game-charset.bin"

While this sounds convenient, it could be improved, because

  • the user only learns about this after a file got saved
  • other naming conventions might be preferred, like "char-game"

Suggestion

  • if no file name has been specified yet (e.g. new project), prefill the name input field with something like "name-charset.bin"

  • if the filename has been changed by the user at any time (filename != "name-charset"), then don't change it at all (so user's chosen preference isn't overwritten).

I'll second this. if I specify foo.bin, I expect to find a file named foo.bin. 🙂

@ricardoquesada this one still needs addressed also if you can find time.
