Show/Hide file extension

The file extensions are displayed in the File Manager by default. This can be hidden by disabling the showFileExtension property.

In File Manager fileLoad and fileOpen events are triggered before the file/folder is rendered and before the file/folder is opened respectively. These events can be utilized to perform operations before a file/folder is rendered or opened.
