not destructive
Authored by: dom on Apr 05, '06 09:55:05AM

the original post said "rename in the Finder", and by that it meant "not in the Get Info window". If you remove the extension in the Finder, it's still there, but hidden. Rob, maybe you could edit to clarify?

Completely different is if you remove it in the Get Info window, you're actually deleting it, of course, but the Finder will warn you first! You can't actually (destructively) delete an extension without the Finder giving you that annoying dialog box. Of course, if you use a third-party utility or the command-line you bypass the warnings, but you should know that already, no?
