Question
I created a text file with a specific extension:
Vendor_0408_Product_3008.idc
It displays in finder link this:
and BASH like this:
-rw-r--r--@ 1 raven staff 1903 Feb 19 10:31 Vendor_0408_Product_3008.idc.rtf
with a .rtf extension. In Finder, I went to preferences/advanced and made sure that "Show all filename extensions" is checked:
But it still does not display the extension?!
Please advise.
Solution
Be sure the file's own metadata is not set to hide the file extension. Right-click or control-click the file in Finder and check the setting in the "Name and Extension" area.
OTHER TIPS
- Select the file in Finder and select "Get Info" cmd + I.
- Click on the "Name & Extension" option in the Get Info window.
- Uncheck the "Hide Extension" option.
