This is common to many file dialogs, by the way...

This is a known problem with the GTK+ version wxWidgets 2.8.  It's been
this way since I got started with the project.  I'm not sure it's been
fixed in 2.9.  The solution is to create a wxFileName object using the
path returned from the file dialog and check if it has a file extension.
  If it doesn't, set the file extension to the appropriate value.

This is good behaviour to have in a dialog.  "Extension enforcement."

We should do it more often.  I vaguely remember adding it to the save board 
code (and its
a miracle that I remember), something like what Wayne is saying.  For without 
that, the
user cannot know if he's working with a *.brd file or a *.kicad_pcb file, nor 
can KiCad
easily know next time loading.

But as I think of it now, just checking that it has an extension is probably 
not enough,
verifying that the extension is the correct one is more correct.

wxFileName may have the notion that the last segment after a period is the 
extension, when
in fact it could be part of a base filename with a period in it.  So if 
perfection is desired:

Simply over writing the last thing falsely known as the extension within the 
wxFileName
would be munging the basename inappropriately.  So maybe the best algorithm is 
to use
wxFileName to parse the filename, see if the extension *matches*, and if not, 
go back to
the original full filename string outside the wxFileName, and then concatonate 
the correct
extension.  This leaves the user's full filename with more than one period in 
it.

Superimposing a restriction on base filenames seems inappropriate and 
unnecessary with the
above strategy.

Good idea.
I'll commit this change in Pl_Editor in my next commit.
