Welcome to the wonderful world of filename extensions.... :-(
This has nothing to do with extensions, it just a bug, Have you
filed a
bug????
Are you sure?
From the examples quoted, it would appear to be stripping off
everything
after the period. If I was having this problem, I would run some more
files
through this to verify it, but it appears to be treating '.7' and
'.0X' as
filename extensions and stripping them off.
Yes i just looked at the code and i filed the bug a few minutes ago. The
code is too aggressive in removing the extensions.What it is supposed
to
do is remove the .app extension, but if the program doesn't have one it
should not remove it.
I want to know what you do when you instantiate two instances of the same
process name, which is easy to do. Does NSWorkspace mess up again?
You should deliver the path of the process, including any extension
really. It's a bit late now, however though you could add it into the
dictionary along with other useful information like the pid that's
terminated.
For example...
@"NSApplication" = @"foo2.3.2"
@"NSApplicationPath" = @"/Applications/foo2.3.2.app"
@"NSApplicationPID" = 666 (NSNumber)
This sounds like a great idea, why don't you file a bug
(
http://bugreporter.apple.com) and list it as an enhancement request.
Posting requests on this list doesn't really mean anything we are all
really busy working on a bunch of stuff.

So, it does have to do with filename extensions. We wouldn't have to
bother
with this hiding/showing/appending/removal stuff if Apple wasn't trying
to
switch from type/creator to only using extensions...
It has nothing to do with file extensions... just programming. It's
probably old OpenSTEP code.
