IMHO any user who does have such a special need should be capable of using a shell command to rename the file after OO.o is done writing it. That said, some new users might feel secure seeing visual evidence that the appropriate file extension will automatically be added. So perhaps, instead of a checkbox, there could just be an informational line that the correct file ext _WILL_ be automatically used. Or even better, Why not leave the check box in place, but always open the dialog box with it checked by default instead of remembering it's previous state???
