Some downloads are saved without file extention

See original GitHub issue

I downloaded some video (I think it was some Planet Wissen movie from WDR/ARD) and Android didn’t wanted to handle the file because it had no file extension.

Maybe it would make sense to add a default file extension (maybe ….mp4?) so that it wouldn’t require to rename a file (I’m not even sure whether renaming is generally possible with onboard tools in Android).

This issue is fixed in v3.3.0, which will hit F-Droid in a few days. Please reopen this issue if you find any problems.

Got it! The question mark at the end of the title is causing this problem. File name validation has to be way better than now.
