SANS - file saving, minor issues

[Nick Draper]

Should we have default extensions on the files for “save result”, at least for type “RKH” it saves the file with no extension on the name (needs either .Q or .txt) so I have to remember to type it in to the filename box every time.

Yes. It’s important that the cansas1d o/p is .xml, for example. My personal preference for the rkh/loq format would be .txt to show that it is ASCII.

“save other” menu is using “append” as default, even though the “append” box is not checked.

Suggest that unless “append” is checked the “filename” changes to the name of the workspace selected.

Good idea.

The “save result” box only gives an obscure error in scripting box if the workspace is no longer there (or I renamed it).

(In [7436]) PythonRunner always the runPythonCode() method to be called from the different MantidPlot UI elements that contain one of these objects re #1747

All the functionality listed in the ticket discription should work now

[Nick Draper]

Bulk move of tickets to iteration 27, if your ticket is essential for Iteration 26 then move it back.

[Nick Draper]

Sorry I didn't mean to move these ones reverting back to It 26

[Anders Markvardsen]

Tested files with correct extensions etc.

Tests done on Linux machine and we noted that when loading a .RAW instead of a .raw file the data was not loaded.
