If the above works for you, you're probably fine, however, you should note that OSX doesn't behave the same as older versions of MacOS. Many file types *require* the use of a correct suffix, or they will not be recognized by apps that created them. This happens even with Rev, to a degree. Over here, if I ZIP a Rev stack with no suffix in the file name and then UNZIP the file somewhere else, the UNZIPped file loses its association with Rev and cannot double-click-launch or drag-launch; once ".rev" is added, the file launches normally. Of course, it's still possible to open the file from within Rev itself, but in the long run, I believe you'll be better off making sure your suffixes are intact. On a related note, if you're distributing your Rev files and want to hide references to Revolution, you can suffix your files using ".dat", ".txt", or even ".gif" -- almost any suffix can be used since Rev is smart enough to open the file.
