extension to jpg .. and then you have an none valid file, that NOT would be displayed in the OpenDialog box as MacType TEXT because there is no MacType.

Of course, the reason to support MacTypes is because you can also blindly remove the extension entirely. If you have a file that *does* have a MacType that is correct, and you specify both a MacType and extension, it will work properly in all cases. If you simply specify a dummy MacType, it won't work if the file ends up without an extension, because you didn't specify a MacType that matched.

This is very interesting, could an xml file (vaild) have another extension that .xml or none?
Could an valid html file have an extension .txt ? or .jpg?

I think the answer is NO, and then the MacType could be dropped..

Unless things have changed, 'for each' does not guarantee iteration using the array order; I consider this a shortcoming, as it is reasonable to expect that iteration over an ordered structure respect that order.

I agree, as do at least 28 others:

I bet this feedback report wins the

Best,
