No, it certainly WAS that way when I wrote and tested the code.  :)

If found that feature in RB2005. (It doesn't work in 5.5 as I checked now)

True, but that's not something a well-behaved Mac app should do anyway

I am on your side in this whole type/extension problem. But that is common problem that you get files from the Internet or from a CD/ DVD which only have extensions. Most of the files I get only have extensions.

And what should you do if you are writing a html, php or xml editor? You should only display files in an OpenDialog which you can really open. Though you have to exclude c, c++, python, ruby, gedcom etc etc files. They may all have a type TEXT or may not.

In that case you probably want 2 file types.
One that has a TEXT type, and an extension.
One that has no type (or a wildcard type) and the extensions that are legal
