I see where you're coming from, but the downside to the old Type and Creator was that it seemed to be much more "hidden" which was great sometimes and terrible others. I think their current implementation that includes both is a great mixture of the two technologies.
From a programmers perspective, I also like that the OS enforces some of this with the user as it helps reduce the amount of tech support when users "forget" to put the right extension on the file. I also see how it could become a nuisance sometimes though. Overall, I like it. - Ryan Dary [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Personally, I think keeping file metadata in the file name was a bad > idea from the start, and Apple had it right from 1984 until OS X > appeared.
