KMM compiled from source this morning seems to broken

[Jack]

Unfortunately, saving an anonymized file is not as simple as it should 
be, but it's not actually hard.  Do a File/Save As, and select the XML 
back end, and click OK.  Then in the dropdown for filter, select 
anonymous files.  (We should probably change that to anonymized files.  
The difference is subtle, and I'll have to think carefully whether it is 
really accurate.)  Then type in a file name: xxx.anon.xml where xxx is 
your choice.  I'm not sure why it doesn't default to your original file 
name with the .anon.xml extension.  Maybe a future enhancement.
