Hide file extension via rename
OK, I actually tested some of this stuff. Removing the extension (from the icon's name or in get info) DOES remove the extension. The only way to hide it is in an Info/Inspector window, or set it globally via Finder's advanced prefs.

Ahh yes, thank you for explaining it. I have show all extensions set. I never knew all this crazyness existed when you turn that pref off.

That has not been my experience. I have a test file here, "test.png". I change its name to "test". In the Finder it no longer has an extension, but when I go into Get Info, the name is still "test.png" with the "Hide extension" box checked.

(I was replying to bdog, not bpotato. I think bpotato has got it right: the Finder will only let you delete the extension if it is not a known extension.)

Why do it? I can't think of a reason, except in the case I described above - to get a Photshop contact sheet without the extensions in the filename, where merely hiding them did not work. I believe if the files had been created with a Mac Photoshop in the first place, remving the extension would not have caused a problem. |
