BUG: Graph legends include the file extension but shouldn't

Post by Travis »

The legends on graphs for macOS v8beta19 include the file extension (.vdf or .vdfx). They don't on vensim on windows v7.x.

See examples on this issue:

This may be necessary for situations where users have new and old datasets in the same location.

Perhaps the rule for x64 should be that the extension is omitted for the native vdfx, and shown only for the legacy vdf.

Does v8 only produce vdfx files? If so, I think what you suggest makes sense. Another option is to only show the extension if there are two files with the same root name, otherwise hide it. That way vdf (old) files don't look funny unless you have two datasets with the same name.
