Summary: Different Save FileDialog result on Mac

Initial Comment:
I just found a case where the Mac wxWidgets
implementation differs from
the windows version.

--- wxPython snippet ---
FOTOBUCH_FILE_WILDCARDS = 'Fotobuch-XXL (*.fbxxl)|*.fbxxl'
dlg = wx.FileDialog(
           self, message=res.TEXT_SAVE_FOTOBUCH_AS,
defaultDir=defaultDir,
           defaultFile='',
wildcard=FOTOBUCH_FILE_WILDCARDS,
style=wx.SAVE | wx.CHANGE_DIR)

If I enter the filename eg.
testFile
then dlg.GetPath()
returns on the Mac <path>/testFile
but
returns on windows <path>/testFile.fbxxl

So on the Mac no suffix is added automatically, but is
done on windows.

The same behaviour can can be seen in the wxPython Demo
> Common
Dialogs > FileDialog > SAVE Button

yes, that's the default behaviour of the save box on mac, actually on mac
you should pass in a default filename, like eg "Untitled.fbxxl" and this
will give you the usual platform behaviour of having the name of the file
selected and the extension unselected. This will also give you a decent
behaviour on the other platforms.

Best,

Stefan
