Totally, since they are just folders and nothing else.
Don't you have to set the bundle bit on the folder (SetFile -a B
<folder>
) if the extension isn't .app or .bundle?
Or any other known one (rtfd, eg.). Well, the very existence of the
bundle
bit is another Mac OS X bug: the packages should be recognized by their
suffixes only, as it always was in NeXTStep -- for the very reson you
pointed out: it's portable.
And fragile. Millions of Mac users expect to be able to name their
files what
they want without affecting how anything sees them.
This thread is getting dangerously close to one of the endless flame
wars which resulted in the closure of the Human Interface list. I think
it is time to stop here.
