I don't totally mind it, either, but I'd still like to be able to stick
with the current version, which works for me.

Yeah, I wouldn't want that solution, either. (Waits for someone to
suggest using "[fullfilename].[identifier].[everything after first .]",
eg., "foo.txt.gz.r42.txt.gz"...)

Ah, I left the Mac world before X came around, so I wasn't aware they'd
given in to extensions. What a pity. Command-line *nix, of course,
requires that you specify the program; I'm not sure what the consensus
is among the various GUIs for *nix, though I'd have to guess they
probably tend towards extensions; checking for the #! line could get
expensive. Of course, I prefer the specificity of a command
line/opening directly from an application...stodgy old me, eh?
