Under 10.5
the choice is no longer reflected.
Is is a deliberate feature or is it a bug ?

I'm running 10.5.2 and can't duplicate your problem. It works the same for me as in 10.4.


tell application "Finder"
	set foo to the selection as alias
	set extension hidden of foo to true
	display dialog (get displayed name of foo)
	set extension hidden of foo to false
	display dialog (get displayed name of foo)
end tell
