I take it you don't like the .livecode suffix very much. Quite frankly, I think there are many of us that don't either. But we've also found it's perfectly acceptable to use ".rev" and the stacks will still operate without a problem. The only time we see the IDE add the suffix is on the creation of a new stack, and easy to fix with a script, or by hand.
I don't like long suffixes, for sure. They take too much room in a listing and makes it harder to read with all that repetition. Often the suffix would be longer than the actual file name in this case. I am sure the mother ship has good intentions in this move - it gets the name of the product out there and we're all for that. But certainly an offense not worth bad feelings and tarring and feathering.
