Research direction
Start by reproducing the save flow on Linux with Uncompressed MuseScore folder format and inspect the save-dialog handling for that format. Trace how the selected format determines the displayed and written filename. Done means the uncompressed folder format does not retain an .mscz extension while compressed scores continue to save correctly.
