How to remove extension while saving a folder

Hi all,

I have a problem while exporting files in my app. It allows HTML export in two ways: as a single file, or as a "self-contained" folder (the latter is more suitable if the document contains images for instance). The problem is that the info.plist system apparently doesn't allow files types with no extensions, which is annoying for folders. More precisely, this works:
<key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>folder</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
<string>HTML folder</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeOSTypes</key>
<array>
<string>fold</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
<string>None</string>
<key>LSTypeIsPackage</key>
<false/>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>html</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
<string>HTML document</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
<string>None</string>
<key>LSTypeIsPackage</key>
<false/>
</dict>


but if I remove the extension "folder", or try to let it empty, the save Panel behaves weird: it doesn't remove the extension, but adds some others in the file name if I change the type with the popup menu.

So what is the way to export to a new folder (not a package) with no extension?

Thanks,

Thomas Lachand-Robert
