Finder > Preferences > Always View File Extensions Of course, if Avie hadn't had his NeXTy way with things, the Mac might just use metadata that wasn't part of the file name for file typing, and something this braindead would never happen. Even then people would complain that everyone else uses file extensions so the Mac should too. Bah. Mark asked elsewhere whis isn't in View Options, and the justification appears to be that they're about setting per window options. Of course there's also a 'make this a default' button. That'd be nice if it worked. Every time I reboot - whether the Finder quits cleanly or not - I have to switch list view back to 'Don't use relative dates' and 'Do calculate folder sizes'. It fails to remember whether the toolbar (another NeXTish horror) is showing or not. I can't change the default list view alignment (because the size of the file name by default is far too huge for my liking). At least the icon view settings generally work.
