           Summary: .ps become .pdf when selecting a location to save to
                    file (Printing functionality)
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sabine at kdab.net
                CC: tokoe at kde.org


Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

- Launch Kontact and go to KAB
- Create one contact and select it
- Go to File menu/Print...
- Select 'Print to File (Postscript)' from the 'Name:' combo box
- The 'Output file:' name is now 'addressbook.ps
- Click on the '...' button to select a location for the file to be saved
- The file name is changed to 'addressbook.pdf' automatically
- Click on 'Save' and the name remains 'addressbook.pdf' - In the 'Print
Contacts' dialogue the 'Name:' combo box is now set to 'Print to File (PDF)'
eventhough this is not what the user initially chose
Click on 'Print'
Click on 'Next' twice
Click on 'Finish' 

The file is saved as a .pdf whereas the user wanted a .ps.

The only way to have a .ps at the moment is to reselect this format manually:
- In the Print Contacts dialogue the 'Name:' combo box is now set to 'Print to
File (PDF)' eventhough this is not what the user initially chose
- reselect 'Print to file (Postscript)'
- the path where the file should be saved remains but the file is now called
and saved as 'addressbook.ps'
Click on 'Print'
Click on 'Next' twice
Click on 'Finish'
- Go to the location where the file should have been saved and you can see that
it is a .ps. Open it and you can see that it contains the selected contact.

I think the extension of the file should never be changed to a .pdf.
