Another Problem with Latest Software

I am having a problem with "Archiving Current Project". I have found this problem with J-Field 3.0.0.206 & 3.0.0.203. Usually when archiving current project, J-Field will create a zip folder with all of the project's folders, now it will create a large txt file that is all in machine language and unreadable to me. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

I find it is possible to reproduce this if you change the filename extension of the file being exported. You need to change the filename extension back to ".zip"

@Mikhail Drakin, changing the filename extension should probably be blocked.

Ability to change extension is a must for most formats. Too much work to disable it for zip only. As it is clearly inicated on the screen, as you posted. Do not see any issue here. Exactly the same situation as e.g. changing antenna height by accident.
Also, file content does not change if the extension changes - keep the "txt" file, rename back to zip when necessary. No data loss.
