Description:
On server administration, when i'm exporting my database (tipically) to a self contained file, the "save as type" on "Save as" dialog window is empty.

This causes that i save some times a file without extension.

How to repeat:
Export database objects to a self-contained file

Suggested fix:
Having ".sql" file type option and selected by default.

According to my tests the error still remains on WB 6.0 (Windows 8.1) 

Anyhow, after selecting or writing a file name in the Windows dialog it is still possible to edit the file name directly in the input field of Workbench. With this workaround you don't have to save files without ending.

Fixed as of MySQL Workbench 6.0.8, and here's the changelog entry:

Data Import/Export for self-contained data will now only select "*.sql"
files by default, and if an extension is not defined during an export, the
extension will be set to ".sql".

Thank you for the bug report.
