I have Finale 26 running under MacOS Mojave.
When saving a file, the document type (.musx) is no longer automatically added to the file name, I have to do it manually.
I can find nothing in preferences to alter this behaviour.
Any tips gratefully received.

In the Save dialog box is the "Hide Extension" box checked?

The only checkboxes are "Save As" and "Tags".
No sign of "Hide Extension" as far as I can see.

Yes, that is what I used to get before I upgraded to v. 26.
Now I don't get that screen.

I am on 26 and High Sierra and get the check box. Raphael, you are on Mojave, right? I wonder if anyone else on Mojave can verify this.

They moved it. (Or, more likely, Apple did.)

Thanks everyone.
I never thought of looking to see what was under that icon before!
Not intuitive is it?
