Hi,

see gpad/src/TPad.cxx and its SaveAs method. It just looks up if there
is a known suffix contained anywhere in the filename not what the
filename ends with. It could be easily rewritten. If you can avoid
using dots as separators and choose for example
testCanvas_root_frank.eps as filename you will get eps file as you
expect. 
cheers
