```

## Discussion

Discussion When the value of this property is true, the panel allows the user to save files with an extension that’s not in the list of allowed types. The default value is false. If the user tries to save a filename with a recognized extension that’s not in the list of allowed types, they are presented with a dialog. If the value of this property is true, then the dialog presents the option of using the extension the user specified.
