Suggestion: Hide extensions for folders

Whitman · Post by **Whitman** » 2005 Jan 31, 20:01

If I've got a folder called mywebsite.com, for example, .com will appear in the extensions column.
Could you add the option of hiding "extensions" for folders as it isn't really an extension but part of the name.

Thanks.

this cannot be easily generalised
e.g. myfile.zip is a folder (XP) but zip is a legitimate extension too

Personally I don't use XP's zip folder capability.
This could be overcome by an inclusion/exclusion list:
Disallow *
Allow .zip
But only have this for folders and not files.

So is .com BTW.

Personally I have no need for this column anyway so I've removed it from my view. Showing the extensions in the name and sorting by extension is of course still no problem without it.
