[basic] writeToFile .plist best method

hi - I am writing a plist file and have some basic questions.

1- do I need to call my file a somefile.plist can I just give it my own extension like somefile.myfile?

2- I am allocating the file name dynamically, I did this like this:

fileName = [nameField stringValue];
[records writeToFile:[fileName stringByAppendingString:@".plist"] atomically:TRUE];

however when I construct a path name for the file as in I wish to save somefile.plist on the Desktop I am
doing it this way:

noting that records is a dictionary.

[records writeToFile:[ [ [@"~/Desktop/" stringByAppendingString:fileName] stringByAppendingString:@".plist"] stringByExpandingTildeInPath ] atomically:TRUE];

Is this the best way, just incase I have to many square braces?

-Kurt
