Both .midi and .mid are valid extensions for standard midi formats.

  • revision: d2d863f

What I did: tried to export to a standard MIDI file. When I set the file extension to .midi, no file gets written to disk. In fact, it failed silently. Export works when I set the file extension to .mid. Also fails when I don't write any file extensions.

3.2.3 is quite outdated. But even in 3.5.0 there's only .mid

Workaround: export to .mid and rename to .midi

Feel free to create a Suggestion in the issue tracker for getting .midi added as a valid extension

Actually this should work, as far as I read the code, so instead is a Suggestion make a Minor bug report...

(I believe I found the culprit too meanwhile, see https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/6622)

Edit: It'll be fixed in 3.5.1
