There doesnt seem to be a way to view the physical filename of an object from within the IDE, as the underlying file is abstracted away by the data object API. Typically, because of the strict ObjectType<->File Extension association, the real name is guessable as ObjectName.extension. But I think this can sometimes be a confusing and is a little too "abstract": a way to see the actual filename would be nice (for users mainly, but also programmers writing higher level modules too). An example is new users who may type eg.: "MyDocument.html" into the wizard and not realize the file is called "MyDocument.html.html". Could there be a read- only filename property for file objects?
You can turn on "Show File Extensions" mode globally, isn't that enough? If you agree it is, please mark FIXED. A read-only property for full filename could still be helpful though, it would have to be mentioned on nbui.
yes, "Show File Extensions" mode is fine.
