1: File path in save dialog automatically appended with correct extension if not manually added by the user. 2: Removed .bin as default extension for Linux exports as it causes problems for common file managers.

Commit 1:

Instead of showing the "Must use a valid extension." dialog, the item being saved will use the selected extension of the file types when the filter only contains one option extension.

For instance, when saving a scene file, selecting SCN will automatically add the extension if .scn is not in the file name already. If "All Recognized" is selected it will still show the "Must use a valid extension." dialog.

I think it might be good behavior to have this apply to something like the "All Recognized" as well and select the first option instead of the dialog. If you agree, let me know and I will add that functionality as well.

Commit 2:

Removed "bin" from the Linux export so that it will default to "All Files". This is due to myself and others experiencing an issue where several filemanagers such as Nautilus and LXDE will try and find a program to open the executable instead of just running it. If the build has no extension it works just fine. If the .bin extension is kept it will likely cause frustration and confusion to anyone not familiar with Linux who is trying to make a Linux port of their game. Also, while there are a few apps out there with it .bin is not a standard extension for executables in Linux. The typical thing done for almost every Linux app is to have no extension.

looks great, does this work well for you? I didn't have time to test it yet
(have a work deadline for tomorrow and didn't have much time)

Everything works fine for me, except for one minor thing.

If I try going to Save As and putting in the name of an already-existing file, choosing the file extension in the dropdown, then it errors and says "File format requested unknown: res://scene3"

Thanks, I can reproduce it here too. I'll try and get a fix up soon.

[NathanWarden]

Okay, should be fixed now. :)
