Some software Save dialogues interpret anything after a dot in the 
name field as overriding whatever extension is specified elsewhere 
(or by default), I think. Perhaps this is a hangover from the days 
when the only use of a dot in a file name would be as the extension 
separator - with the name part never including dots. Could this be 
operating system dependent?
