 Make two simple files, e.g. "foo.bar" and "foo.baz", on a USB key.  Plug
 it into XO.  Go to Journal.  Click on USB icon.

 Both files show up as "foo".  You can't tell them apart.

 Fix:  The Journal should stop playing God with file extensions.  It should
 show the files that exist on storage devices with their real file names,
 even if the name contains trailing letters and a dot!
