Note that those "files" you mentioned are actually "bundles" - folders with a special plist. Like Livecode.app itself. On 28 July 2011 09:52, Pete Haworth wrote: > Oh, it's true - I didn't dream it. I'm referring specifically to iPages > file (possibly other iWorks files), not all file types.

I ran into this once with Time Machine. I restored an iPages file from a backup and it brought it back without an extension and treated it as a unix executable. Even more ironic that Time Machine can't restore a file from an Apple application properly! Pete On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 9:32 PM, Te
