Description:
Saved searches are always saved as somename.savedSearch. The folder's
icon gives a really nice clue about what it is so I tried removing the
suffix (or file extension) but then it stopped being recognized as a
saved search.

Tipically, most files are recognized by their mime-type not by their
extension and this is a really good thing but such doesn't happen with
saved searches and given the importance of such a feature it really
matters that it does. Since the saved search file has a defined format,
maybe add a header and create a mime-type for it? Is it possible to do
this?
