[PATCH] Better solves Bug#860

[Abhinav Agarwal]

i understand that the user should be able to write filename.<something> but
what if the user wants to have a file named as filename.something.<default
extension>. is such a scenario possible/plausible or am i overthinking it?
because given by the current code if the filename has a dot nothing gets
appended to it.

also,
it should default to .ssrf in windows as well from filename.append(".ssrf")
but it is not. this is not the case in linux, in linux it defaults to .ssrf.
also in windows if you were to name the file as "abc." it will get saved as
"abc.xml" on linux it will get saved as "abc.", Kindly comment. I am unable
to understand which code is controlling what happens in windows. i am using
the latest publicly released binary windows. please have a look at this:
