Originated in 
FileMaker Pro 13.0
Description 
Base64 encoding does not retain the filename or extension of encoded content.
If a filename and extension are not specified in the fileNameWithExtension parameter, Base64Decode returns the container content with a generic filename and extension but does not change the content’s data format.
Examples 
Base64Decode(Products::Base64;"question.png") returns Help button when Products::Base64 is set to a string that begins with "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAB8". The Base64 string in this example was shortened for readability.
