If multiple files are selected, the first entry of the sequence contains the path in URL format, and the other entries contains the names of the selected files without path information. Notes for the implementation of a FileSave dialog: If there exists a checkbox "Automatic File Extension" which is checked and a valid filter is currently selected the dialog may automatically add an extension to the selected file name.
