Demote annoyance

[Anonymous]

In an assembly, select a part or a couple of parts, right click 'em and
select Demote.  The Create In-Place Component dialog appears.  Select
an assembly template.  Click the upper Browse button.  Select the
folder that the new subassembly should be saved in, and enter a filename WITHOUT
THE EXTENSION.  Click OK.  In the Create In-Place component dialog,
Inventor appends an .ipt extension to the file even though it's an
assembly!  If you try to accept it, Inventor displays the error:

Cannot save the document with the specified extension
(it is not the right type).  Type a different extension for the document
you want to save, or do not enter an extension.

Hello?  I didn't enter the extension, Inventor did.
