Right. Apple thinks that if there's any extension that's appropriate at all, then the user should not have any choice in the matter. Personally, I think keeping file metadata in the file name was a bad idea from the start, and Apple had it right from 1984 until OS X appeared. But, alas, they didn't ask me (and didn't listen to me or the droves of other engineers who told them so when OS X came out).
