Comment:

 It seems this is deliberate:
 http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/browse/repos/mainline/blobs/master/filepicker.py#line165

 So far, the best solution I can think of is always appending
 mime_extension. We could have a database of which extensions not to append
 to, like "jpg" vs "jpeg", but that may be too long a regex.
