Hi! Thank you again for the application @NickeManarin! This is a tiny one, but wanted to document it for posterity in case anyone else would like it.

(Not sure if this is my own personal habit or the expectation of the common user!)

My intuition expects to "Save as" with the same file name and destination folder in different file types/presets.

In 2.27 and at least 2.28.1, switching the dialog resets / uses the file name for that file type/preset rather than keeping the filename consistent.

I feel surprised when file name changes simply from switching the output types.

For instance:

Switching the "file type" wouldn't reset the filename or the destination folder.

Current behavior

Step 1

Step 2: Switch filetype / preset

current behavior

Below: I would expect the "File" to be the same with the exception of the .mp4 file extension

desired behavior
