It's just as easy to strip off the ".tiff" and then no longer be able to
know what type of file that document was.
It seems like what you want is the Finder to be able to let you change the
creator / type of a file. Then ask for that feature, and not the desire to
change the definition of what kind of file it is based on what the user
calls it (mypic.tiff vs. mypic.jpg -- if I rename one "mypic", which type is
it then?).
Why override the use of filename to include both a file's description in
human terms PLUS what type of file it is to the system.
