Fix an exception on wx-3.0-gtk3 in PLCOpenEditor when generating ST files.

On Python2.7 with WX3.0 and GTK3, an assertionError rises on generating a ST file if the name is already set. The first generation works without problems, if you generate the file a second one, PLCOpenEditor tries to open the file
save dialog with the pre entered name from last run. Then the following assertion pops up:

PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "volDummy.empty() && pathDummy.empty()" failed at ./src/common/filename.cpp(568) in Assign(): the file name shouldn't contain the path

This fix reduces the filepath of the ST file the to the filename. Now it works fine.
Project overview
================

In order to target the widest possible range of programmable devices and keep efficient, Beremiz use C code as an intermediate language. 

To be executed, C needs to be compiled. `GCC <http://gcc.gnu.org>`_ serve that purpose perfectly.

PLC program is expressed in languages defined in IEC-61131, including graphical languages. Thanks to PLCopen TC2, those graphical languages have a standardised representation, in XML.

To be continued.
