Output file name not set to .tmp while active.

Another Edit. after working correctly it has stopped working again.

Not sure why, but it is working now, probably an ID 10 T error on my part :)

Running 4.0.2 on a RPi 3 with a ram disk set up and output set to file as below:

...
{ freq = 443.975; disable = false; modulation = "nfm"; highpass = 250; outputs = ({ type = "file"; directory = "/var/tmpab/mp3"; filename_template = "443-975"; split_on_transmission = true; append = false;});},
...

In V4.0.0 I noted the update below:
Added .tmp suffix to the names of the output files currently being written to. The suffix is removed when the file is closed. External applications that consume recorded files can now figure out which files are not yet complete.

In my system the files it creates show up as mp3 from the beginning of the transmission.

If I understand the update note when a channel is active the created file is suppose to show up with .tmp appended to the file name then removed when the squelch closes leaving an .mp3 file

Am I missing something?

I see a new file pop up but it is immediately an .mp3

I am using this to detect activity as suggested by @charlie-foxtrot

Thanks in advance

This has stopped working again. Nothing in the config was changed when it stopped working. I was working on my Python detector script and it all the sudden it stopped creating temp files. It is still creating the mp3 files but not tmp while the chan is active.

Thinking I might have messed something up I stopped my monitor and rebooted the Pi, Still no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks to @szpajder for pointing that this was a noob issue. I was calling ./rtl_airband and it was calling the 'local' copy when I should have been calling rtl_airband so it would use the latest update... calling it with -e -F options showed the problem right away, I was running 3.2.1 and thought I was running 4.0.2. The one time it worked i realized that I must have left off the ./

So much more to learn here.

Sorry for the simple problem I should have figured out myself.
