Is there any way to show file suffixes by default at the end of the file name in unity?

For example:
If I have a file called test.bin, it is shown as test in Unity. I'd like it to be shown as test.bin by default in Unity.

Where in Unity do you want the extension to be displayed? – jobin Nov 16 '13 at 05:39
In file explorer like Windows Os. – hamidfzm Nov 16 '13 at 05:44
As far as I know by default Ubuntu shows files with their file extensions. So, if you have created a file test.bin then when you will open nautilus your file will be shown as test.bin and not just test – Tarun Nov 16 '13 at 07:53
@HamidFzM If you have a file called test.bin, this it is shown anywhere as test.bin: in any file manager, in terminal/console/shell, in Dash, on the desktop, ao. Can you explain exactly where do you see only the name without extension? – Radu Rădeanu Nov 16 '13 at 08:07
@Radu Rădeanu For example in /usr/bin there are some executable files that Ubuntu doesn't show their suffix or windows executables EXE files in Ubuntu file explorer! – hamidfzm Nov 16 '13 at 10:23

@HamidFzM Ubuntu doesn't show their suffix/extension because they don't have any one. See What's the application extension? (aka .exe, .app, etc.) – Radu Rădeanu Nov 16 '13 at 10:44
