What? That's just wrong. That's not at all how software works.

The sw has to explicitly decide (and a programmer implement it) to check the file if it's a renamed file.

The simpler way is to try to open the file and decode it according to the file format and if it fails show an error message.

So it Photoshop could do it, but someone has to program it and it would cost money to do it.
