This apps NOT showing an 'Hide Extension checkbox'
1 - The old Simple Text have NOT (Carbon)
2 - TextWrangler have NOT (Cocoa I think, have nib files inside
the bundle)
3 - skEdit have NOT (looks like Cocoa)
4 - Photoshop CS have NOT (Carbon ?)
5 - Image Ready have NOT (Carbon ?)
So it looks NOT depending on the OS i use (OS 10.4.6)

I never said it had anything to do with which version of the OS.
No you don't, that was what i get to answer before (but meaning the
OS turn it off/on).
The OS has several routines, all of which a developer COULD use, but
they have to select one or the other when they write their program.
By the time you and I get that program it doesn't really matter any
more as we can't change it one we have the program.
And REAL has to pick one to create and use in the REALbasic IDE, and
also in the programs we create using REALbasic.
They happened to use the one that shows the Hide Extension stuff
(which I suspect is the newest)
Now there _may_ be a way, in the underlying C API's Apple provides,
to modify that dialog. But REAL has not exposed that to us, so you
get what you get for now, and make a feature request to see if they
can somehow make that dialog modifiable in our programs.
OS X supports numerous calls, some from new API's & some from
older ones. Carbon has a number of methods for similar things. If
you use one function you may get one behavior or appearance, and
if you use a different one you get a different appearance. And if
you happen to be running a Cocoa application it may appear
different again because it's a different API.
If a developer is using an older API they may NOT get the Hide
Extensions box. If they are using the newer ones they may.
At least that's my guess at why you see this. I've seen this
before with Classic Mac OS API's as they brought out newer ones
with more functionality.

Interesting answer, then to get the 'freedom', you have to write
the code by you self, or perhaps Christians Plugin could fix this.
When i get some time, I should check Christians plugin.
Possibly Christians plugin can do this.
