Summary: OSX - FileDialog wildcard forces lowercase

Initial Comment:
MacOS 10.4.9, Python 2.4, wx.Python 2.8.3.

In the "save" FileDialog, no matter how I try to include a default file extension, the extension is converted to lowercase.  I've tried upper- and mixed case in the wildcard, no wildcard, and removing the wildcard option altogether; in each case the file extension either isn't shown at all, or is shown and returned only in lowercase.  This is the case even if the default file name is included with an upper- or mixed-case extension. 

Example mini-script (FDExample.py) attached.

<EM>does this give you a problem ?</EM>

It's not really a problem, no.  I wanted to use a mixed-case extension,
but not for a good reason (in fact I've forgotten why).

OSX is case insensitive, but all Apple apps use lowercase extensions, does
this give you a problem ?

Thanks,
