[SLUG] Funny files.

2001-12-04 Thread Bill Bennett

As usual, I feel a pratt about posting something that will be
blindingly obvious to some, but here goes:---

I had to burn a data-type CD. Using some MS software.
Assembled the files. Amongst them files like
filename1.eps
filename2.cdr

When I looked at the disk after burning, I find
filename1.eps
filename2.cdr

When I looked at the disk using Linux, I find
filename1.eps.eps
filename2.cdr.cdr

Can anyone tell me why the double suffix and how to avoid it,
please? It doesn't seem to matter, but there may come a time when
it does ...

Regards,

Bill Bennett

You have most likely have your Windows shell hiding it's extensions so
really these files are doubled extensioned because you added a second set..

Tools - Folder Options - View and turn off Hide known extensions

Sorry for the NON linux info..
