I'll throw my "me too" in and agree with everyone else, it's difficult
to use as-is and would be much better if there was a common history of
rendered filenames, with just the extension changing based on render
type.  It would be most useful I think if there was a box where the
extension was changable, but defaulted to something - would be best if
that box was directly to the right of the filename (so it would be
obvious).  It probably would be even better if the directory and
filename were seperate also.

I guess my preference would be something like

directory:         [directory entry        ]
filename base: [filename base entry] ext: [.ext    ]

e.g.

directory:          [/home/ddstreet/myproject    ]
filename base:  [my-video                           ] ext:  [.mov     ]

with this setup, if users didn't like the seperate ext, they could
remove the ext completely and just fill it in themselves for each
filename (the ext should be remembered by the render type).

e.g.

directory:          [/home/ddstreet/myproject    ]
filename base:  [my-video.mov                    ] ext:  [    ]


Just my $0.02

It would be extremely useful if just the extension would change, but not
the full filename.
