Set default log export to "Log Files (*.log)"

[SDV]

When exporting the log file from Enterprise Guide's Log tab the dialog that pops up defaults to type "Text (*.txt)".  Can I change it to  default to type "Log Files (*.log)" instead?

Thanks,

Yes, you can.If you check the drop down list where you found .txt.

What version is your SAS EG?

EG 7.1

There must be a misunderstanding.  When I am in the log window, I click Export Log..., the Save dialog opens with the default for "Files of type:" set to "Text Files (*.txt)", I choose "Log Files (*.log)" and save my log.  That is fine for the first time, but I want the Save dialog to default to a "Files of type:" being set to "Log Files (*.log)" and not the text files.   Every time I use the Export Log... the save dialog comes up with the "Files of type:" set to text files.

I don't see a way to specify this.

Correct, there is not currently a way to change the default extension for the file that results from exporting a log from EG.  The default is "Text Files (*.txt)" and you have to explicitly change it to "Log Files (*.log)" each time you export, if that is the extension you desire.
