    Description

      In Qt 4.8.1 (and probably earlier), QFileDialog::getSaveFileName() appended the file extension (i.e. the currently selected filter) to the file name returned. In Qt 5.0, the extension is not appended. This change isn't mentioned in the documentation. Personally, I believe it's more intuitive to have the extension appended.

      I've tested it on Windows and Linux.
