Hide file extension via rename
Authored by: sjk on Apr 05, '06 05:28:24PM

Anyone know a way to tell Finder to automatically hide the .webloc extension on files created from URLs dragged from Safari's location field (and other places)? Is there some way to run "Hide extension" with Automator?

Nope. Give me some credit for already trying some that obvious (long ago). :-)

If you usually drag them to the desktop, then you could attach a folder action to the desktop to automatically hide the extension of newly created webloc files.
