My answer was to manually add the .ged extension and then do unix2dos. Don't waste you time on this question - tried to remove it but couldn't.
I've been using the gramps genealogy program. When I try to export as a GEDCOM, it just exports as a file with no extension. If I export as a gedcom, it should have the .ged extension. I can't upload it anywhere without exporting is as a gedcom. The default is an XML data file.I can import gedcoms with no problems. I read the sourceforge manual pages for gramps concerning exporting at .
http://gramps.sourceforge.net/extending-gramps/ but I don't have a clue what they mean.
This is an error message I get when use "show plugin status":

These look a lot like what is on the link I gave above. Also my PyXML is
pretty old. Would a newer one solve the problem and/or would it mess up
anything else?
I've tried just adding the extension .ged and .GED when exporting or after exporting and it won't upload to a website I want to upload it on.
Also, the export options don't even work for exporting to gramps mode.It saves as a file only which won't work when I try to load it back to gramps. It wants to load a directory, whereas when I use save as, it creates a directory with the name I fill in and in that directory is data.gramps.
