[JW Lua] AssureFileExtension()

[Thomas Weber]

There's definitely a flaw here.  I have a file "test.txt" in directory "E:\".  With your modified script, if I enter "test.txt", then I'm asked whether I want to replace that file.  If I only enter "test", I don't get the warning, but the returned file name is still "E:\test.txt".  This means, the safety net is bypassed and one can't be certain that the user actually agreed on replacing the file.

Not sure if that's a problem with how the dialog works or if it's some problem on JWLua's side.
