Yes I know, but if it was possible to turn it off, I and many others should be happy.

This apps NOT showing an 'Hide Extension checkbox'

1 - The old Simple Text have NOT (Carbon)
2 - TextWrangler have NOT (Cocoa I think, have nib files inside the bundle)
3 - skEdit have NOT (looks like Cocoa)
4 - Photoshop CS have NOT (Carbon ?)
5 - Image Ready have NOT (Carbon ?)

So it looks NOT depending on the OS i use (OS 10.4.6)

I never said it had anything to do with which version of the OS.
No you don't, that was what i get to answer before (but meaning the OS turn it off/on).

OS X supports numerous calls, some from new API's & some from older ones. Carbon has a number of methods for similar things. If you use one function you may get one behavior or appearance, and if you use a different one you get a different appearance. And if you happen to be running a Cocoa application it may appear different again because it's a different API.

If a developer is using an older API they may NOT get the Hide Extensions box. If they are using the newer ones they may.

At least that's my guess at why you see this. I've seen this before with Classic Mac OS API's as they brought out newer ones with more functionality.

Interesting answer, then to get the 'freedom', you have to write the code by you self, or perhaps Christians Plugin could fix this. When i get some time, I should check Christians plugin.
