Hey, folks,
This is new behavior (circa OS X 10.3):
I often drag URLs from Safari's Address Bar to the desktop to create clickable webloc files. And in the past, they were named automaticall -- with the ".webloc" extension *hidden*.
But now -- even though I have "Show All Finder extensions" UNchecked in the Finder's preferences -- those files always have the annoying ".webloc" extension *visible*!
I guess my thread title is somewhat misleading; I can, in fact, hide the extension by selecting Get Info and manually checking the "Hide extension" box -- but that's a PITA to have to do, every time I create one of these files!!! Why can't it just work the way it used to -- with the extension hidden by default?
Is this a new "feature" in the OS, or a bug, or what?
