Yes, I have that set in my application, and all of that is working
fine (the
"folder" appears as a document in the Finder, clicking on it launches
my
app, etc.) But, if I select the file and duplicate it in the Finder,
the
name gets "copy" appended to it after my extension, which mucks things
up.
If I append my extension again everything is fine. It's only a problem
with
the Finder's duplicate command as near as I can tell.
Another weird thing I just noticed is that, if I hide one of my
document's
extensions in the Finder and do the duplicate, the file goes from
"MyFile.ext" to "MyFile copy" So, hiding the extension in the Finder
and
then duplicating the file removes the extension.
It's almost as if the Finder thinks my document's extension is just
part of
the filename, but not an extension... Any of this sound familiar to
anyone?
What is your extension? The Finder has some rules about what it
considers to be a valid extension. Also, if you select "Get Info" on
your file, what is shown in the "name and extension" field. Are you
certain your extension is not being added twice?
