Custom exports not working

[melTr]

• [ x] I have tested the latest master version from http://builds.jabref.org/master/ and the problem persists

Hi,
I used the same export files since many years, but in this version, I can't export. My file is name "abstract.layout". I tried to rename to "abstract", but didn't work either.
I tried different exports, and for all of them I get this same error :

Error exporting to clipboard
java.io.IOException: Cannot find layout file: '/home/mel/Documents/jabref/abstract/abstract.layout.layout'.

Hi,
this is probably related to #4013 and will be fixed with #4015
In the meantime you could try out this version: https://builds.jabref.org/fixCustomExportFileType/

Works for me, as a user (wndows10).
Tested JabRef_windows-x64_4_3-dev--snapshot--2018-05-15--fixCustomExportFileType--289c439ea.exe
and custom exports function again as they did prior to v4.1, all looks Ok on from this view.
