![]() See attachment 1 for Text Edit’s “Save As…” which has the expected drop down to enable or clear the Hide Extension. "For most apps, the “Save As…” dialog includes the ability to set or not set the “Hide Extension” flag for the file being saved. IMO, the global setting (under Finder > Preferences > Advanced) should override EVERYTHING, but it doesn't for some odd reason.įollowing on from your annoyances and discoveries (to which I agree) I have submitted Apple Feedback FB10011828 regarding the Save As. It seems to work when you check "Hide Extension" because the filename immediately loses its extension in the field where the editable filename appears, however the saved file in Finder shows the extension. I did see it in Chrome as well, but for some reason it doesn't work there. I DID see it in MS Office apps and got it to work. However, I don't see this option in Safari's Save-as dialogue. The app remembers this option the next time you go to save a new file. I also discovered that when you're going to save a file in an app, on the Save As dialogue, if you click the view options dropdown menu, there is an option to "Hide extension" for the saved file. Then I discovered that individual file settings override that global setting, and for some reason, apparently every file on my computer does NOT have "Hide extension" checked when I "get info" for the file. Strangely, I noticed that even when I UNchecked the "Show all filename extensions" option, none of my file extensions disappeared. However, in the interest of trying to find an answer for you, I've been experimenting with the setting. I like to see all file extensions, so obviously this isn't an issue for me. ![]()
