Description
While testing IGBF-1092 I noticed that the Save As... feature is not useable at all on Windows. This is because the filename gets appended with additional text causing the file name to be invalid. This is also happening on Mac, but on Mac the filename is not invalid, but the extra text still gets appended.
For example, if you try to save a graph file as a bedgraph named "test.bedgraph", IGB will actually save the file as "test.bedgraph.*.bedgraph".
To reproduce:
1) Select Arabidopsis thaliana genome - go to start screen and click the Arabidopsis image
2) Choose Data Access > RNA-Seq > Loraine Lab > Mixed Cold > SM > Graph
3) Select a graph, zoom in on a region
4) Click Load Data to load some data
5) Right-click or CNTRL-click track label and select Save As...
6) Save a file with the name "test.bedgraph"
Observe: On Mac = the file actually gets saved as test.bedgraph..bedgraph
On Windows = the file will not be saved at all and there is an exception in the console.

Go ahead and move it to "Needs Testing" and re-assign to Mason
I think we should move this issue to "Needs testing" because:
-**These changes have already been merged into lorainelab/integrated-genome-browser/master.**
-The main improvement (Files CAN BE saved and they save with the correct file extension) has been tested on several machines.
Downside:
There is a side-effect that the pull down menu shows the file extension twice. This side-effect only appears on some Windows computers. We can make a new issue for correcting this with appropriate priority. This new issue should be related to IGBF-1128. And whoever works on it needs to have easy access to a Windows 7 machine.
Since there is a side-affect that still needs to be addressed, and jumping from 1st level review to Needs Testing is unusual, I'm assigning this to Ann to make that judgement call.
I got it from fork:
bitbucket.org/jdaly8/integrated-genome-browser
branch name:
IGBF-1128
But I don't see that now on BitBucket. 
Which fork and which branch is this? Please add link.
Edited abstractExportFileAction and UniFileFilter to resolve issue. Moving to 'needs testing'.
I tested this story today and it seems that the state is the same as my testing done on April 17, 2017; files are being properly saved as .bedgraph or .gr files on Windows and Mac, but on Windows the file extension is being duplicated in the file chooser's drop-down menu for file type. I looked at the live version (IGB 9.0.0) to see if this was occurring there and it is, meaning that the duplication of the file extension is not a result of any code change while fixing this issue,
IGBF-1128. Since this is the case, and since everything is working as expected, I am closing this issue and creatingIGBF-1162to track the duplicate file extensions issue.
