But the whole point of the mapping system is to avoid precisely that.
If you have a mapping between .jpg and &c85 then a JPEG saved from
RISC OS as Refurb/jpg ends up as Refurb.jpg on the PC, not as
Refurb.jpg,c85. And it still has filetype JPEG when seen from RISC OS.

No, that would be silly. You can have the best of both worlds without
having to change anything. Simply add the required mappings and
everything just works. As I wrote in another post, it is really hard
to imagine any kind of circumstances where Notypes Y makes any sense.
