Both are bugs. Extensions should be shown always, a possible alternative
is showing them only if the operation systems doesn't have an option not
to do so that is set. Windows per default doesn't show extensions (in
Explorer etc.), so it's an option to respect this setting.

That's a good point, maybe this is more convenient than the file name,
I'm not sure. In general having title and file name looks redundant to
me. OK, file names don't allow every character (at least on Windows, on
Linux or Unix only a slash is illegal IIRC), but that's bearable IMHO.

I don't argue against having a title property, I'm only pointing out
that for end users a file name is enough.
