Thus no option is what I should have. I guess the Cocoa required
extension option does not look for double extensions? Is there a way to
clean up this process. I want "tar.gz" to be a required extension and I
want to be able to enter it. In other words I would like the save panel
to enforce a double extension. For now I have to delete half the
extension, such as to make it "Archive.tar", and then click "Use
tar.gz" when the error message appears to get to my goal of
"Archive.tar.gz".

Have you considered using the ".tgz" extension? It is still considered by most systems to be a gzipped tarball, but Cocoa would like it much better since it isn't a double extension.
