I'm partial to 10 steps forward, 2 step backwards. Extensions are the name
of the game in the 95% of the non-Mac using world. Mac's inability to use
extensions really has hampered interoperability so finally getting some
extension smarts in there is good. But, I still like the Mac ability to use
meta data that's hidden from the user (in the form of TYPE/CREATOR codes to
hide that extension crap and to have applications that use the same type of
file, but open up different apps with a different double-click (so you can
have JPEGs that open in either GraphicConverter or in Preview, depending on
your particular preference).
BTW You can turn on or off the hiding of extensions (guess what my setting's
at ;) (then again, I occasionally delve into the world of Terminal and enjoy
myself there).
