[Dx4win] lotwreport from LoTW - missing extension

[contest at oz0j.dk]

Hi

 

During the last week or so I can see that the lotwreport file downloaded
from https://lotw.arrl.org (Your QSOs -> Download Report) is now
automatically saved on my PC (normally the download folder with other
downloads). Earlier I should accept to save it. 

 

However, the "lotwreport" file no longer has an extension. Earlier the
filename was "lotwreport.adi" now the filename is "lotwreport" with no
extension. Cause to that e.g. DX4WIN cannot fine the file to confirm LoTW
because DX4WIN does not know, that "lotwreport" is an ADIF file. 

 

I have downloaded the same "lotwreport" file on a PC running Windows 10 and
on a PC running Windows 11, and both downloads missed the ".adi" (period
adi) part of the "lotwreport" file. 

 

I reported this issue in the ARRL LoTW group and so far, one other has his
problem. A local Danish ham also have the same problem.

 

I have made some test to find the error:

 

1) from https://lotw.arrl.org I do no longer get the "save" box, that I got
earlier. It that a Windows issue?

2) I have in Windows 11 changed the Windows Explorer to "show extension" and
I still get the lotwreport without extension. I have made the same in
Windows 10 with the same result

 

Test download of lotwreport (same setup every time)

In Mozilla Firefox, version 102, 64 bit - no extension on the file
lotwreport

In Mozilla Firefox - same version, same PC - the logfile from Clublog.org
(right to my call) is downloaded with .adi extension 

In Microsoft Edge - same file (same call, same date etc.) is downloaded as
lotwreport.adi = with extension 

In Google Chrome - same file (same call, same date etc.) is downloaded as
lotwreport.adi = with extension

 

I have reset Mozilla Firefox but that did not help

I have looked in "regedit" in Windows database for lotwreport and found
nothing. 

 

 

Does anyone has a clue to what is wrong - and where/how to fix it?
