      Description

      Type '.' (dot) at the end of 'Save as' field uploading files. Then the name of 'file.ext' file with 'saveas.' save-as-field will be 'saveasext' and type of the file will be UNKNOWN.

      Ok if we type dot in a filename we have to set an extension. And if nothing comes after it extension must be empty. But:
      1) What does mean 'Save as' field? Name of FILE or NAME of file? It's difficult for my project's student & teachers...
      2) If it's a file name why 'ext' (WITHOUT DOT) is added to 'saveas' text?
