Details:

When using uiputfile and entering a name in the dialog box without its
extension, the name does not auto add the selected extension to the name.

I tried both 3.8.2 and 4.1.0+ with command line and gui.

Example, entering name of 'test'

[name, path, idx] =  uiputfile('*.txt')
name = test
path = /home/john
idx =  1



In matlab ( I tested R2010b and R2013a), the extension gets appended to name
ie: test.txt


[name, path, idx] =  uiputfile('*.txt')
name = 
test.txt
path = 
/home/john/
idx =  
    1
