See above; if the filename would be specified with a proper extension like
foo.doc the respective format could be used since we also show a confirmation
dialog in this case

The default file name would be inserted when the dialog opens. So it's not
related to the filter.

I don't see a reason to make the internal dialog different from the system
(AFAIK it was introduced as a workaround for kde4)

My take was to implement the filter like in open dialogs.
<span class="quote">> On Windows entering an expression with a * as wildcard in the file name

The filter is of course a convenience function.</pre>
