Why could I not change the extension?
Because Apple now thinks that file extensions are a pretty neat way
to store file type information (never mind that they invented a
much better system in 1984). Yet they also recognize that allowing
users to change that part of the file name will, in a file-
extension world, confuse the heck out of software that relies on
file extensions.
So, their "solution" is to prevent the user from changing the file
extension in the Save As dialog. If you type another extension, it
just cheerfully appends the original one and considers it hidden,
so the user will be even more confused.
(You may guess that I'm not a fan of file extensions.)
Anyway, all is working as it is supposed to, whether we like it or
not.

Thanks for your reply.
I have fixed this problem, using a lot of FileTypes and then like tis
example:
If the dlg.suggestedFileName have extension .html
dlg.Filter = htmlType + xhtmlType + phpType
Then the user could change from/to .html/.xhtml/.php in the Popup
menu in the SaveDialog.
