I've fixed the title part.

'Save Archive (KAR)' in 2.0 is now 'Save As...' in 2.1, so these are issues in
2.0 as well.
I don't think the filter part is a critical bug  -- if when saving a kar file I
could choose between seeing all files or kar files, I prefer all files, so that
I have more points of reference wrt files on my OS. Also the Save As process
tacks on a .kar to the file name if necessary, so that's not a concern.

A good compromise is how ptolemy's Save as... works, with two user-choosable
filters, one for all files, and one for the relevant extension(s). I went to
utilize TableauFrame's ExtensionFileFilter, but it's protected with this note:

protected static class ExtensionFileFilter extends FileFilter {
        // NetBeans wants this protected.  If it is package visibility,
        // then there are problems accessing it from the same package
        // but a different jar.

I'd rather not replicate this code, but I guess we can. Thoughts?
