[V4RB] Database file named '$$Testfile$$' and extention not honored

[Stan Busk]

Hi,

The '$$Testfile$$' problem is gone on v2.1 final.

However v2.1 final continues stripping the file extension I provide.

I pass the FolderItem 'myFile.myExt' to the create function and I get  
'myFile'.

Because of that, during file creation I get Valentina default icon  
rather than mine.

Is it possible to tell the create function to create a file with my  
extension?

Using the extension may fix all my icons problems.
