external externsion - Hank - 12-10-2018
Would it be possible to change 'make external' logic for texture in outliner area?
When the UV map is ready and texture created, I go to Outliner window, RMB on my new texture and choose: make external. There are several extension types [by default .bmp] but when I choose any other, the file extension is not following my operation [still stays .bmp]. Conclusion: it doesn't matter that you've chosen other than .bmp extension, you still have to put proper extension for the file [system will not allow to keep the file without extension]
In other words: If I select .png extension, then new file name should follow it.
See my recording for proof.

The filebrowser is what the OS gives, wings does not get feedback until you close the filebrowser,
on Windows the filebrowser changes the filename when you select png.
Otherwise I thought of removing .bmp as an export option, since that comes first in the alphabet and always
becomes the default.
