Show/Hide file extension

File extensions are displayed by default. Disable them by setting the showFileExtension property to false.

The fileLoad and fileOpen events fire before a file/folder is rendered and before a file/folder is opened, respectively. Use these events to perform operations prior to rendering or opening.
