One reason for having the double choice of both format and file name is that there are formats (such as GML) which don't have a standard file extension that can be used to drive the choice of format.
Also, in JUMP originally we supported a zipped shapefile concept. It had the extension .zip, but was read by the Shapefile driver. One thing that could be do would be to use the file extension to drive the initial format setting, but allow it to be overridden for files with non-specific extensions. I'm also curious how other apps (such as QGIS) handle this?
