Hi

I confirm this is also fixed using 1.48t14 via FIJI.

For future reference, the new behaviour when the file has no file extension is:

1) macros directory with the txt extension
2) macros directory with ijm extension
3) macros directory without extension
4) current directory without file extension
5) current directory with txt extension
6) current directory with ijm extension

Thank you,
Carnë
