I can only speak for "FileSystemDirectoryView":

  The various "FS*" modules contain registrations of the form:

     registerFileExtension(extension, FSClass)

  This specifies that files with "extension" are mapped to
  instances of "FSClass".

  Some FSClass'es discard the extension, others keep it.

  When you have a modern CMF version (1.3.1 or above),
  then you can define a "keep_extension" property with
  a true value to prevent the extension to be discarded
  for this file.
