Comment(by AlbertCahalan):

 Replying to [comment:11 marco]:
 > I posted the logic to determine the Journal icon in #4291. By that spec
 there will be no distinction between a normal Write instance (which saves
 to odt) and an object exported to .doc and .pdf. On the long term we might
 want to use a badge there but for 1.0 it will be much more practical to
 just add the format name in the entry title. "Whales (Doc)" for example.

 As far as usability is concerned, showing extensions is the lesser evil.
 Hiding them causes confusion that can be dangerous. (think
 "something.jpg.exe", and imagine that a Bitfrost hole is found)

 It's educational too. Think of it like "view source" for filenames.
