At least that is not what I would expect from an application written for the Mac (rather than being ported from Windows, without consideration given to Macintosh conventions). I positively hate it when an application restricts the way I use file extensions, requires me to use certain file extensions, or use extensions at all when I would rather not. > Let's see, what the mothership says: All they say is that when you create files that will be used on different platforms, file extensions are quite useful. That isn't exactly news; it's been like that for decades. To me, HTML, XML, PHP etc. files are all text files. If I create an HTML file with a certain HTML editor, I want the file to be opened by its creator, i.e. that HTML editor, when I double-click it. But I still want to be able to open the file with any application that can open text files, using drag&drop or File/Open. The file extension serves just one purpose: when I upload the file to a web server, the extension tells the server how to interpret the file. But that's got nothing to do with opening the file on my computer. - Michael Michael J.
