Show or Hide All File Extensions on the Mac
Show or Hide All File Extensions on the Mac
I thought I wrote a post about this but didnt one in the archive. So here it is.
SOLUTION
- Open Finder
- In the menu bar, select Finder > Preferences... (keyboard shortcut is [command] + [,] (comma)).
- In the opened Finder Preferences dialog window, select Show all filename extensions (check-mark it), and close the window.
- In the open Finder window, all the file names should have their file extensions appended at the end.

NOTES
- If you only wanted to show the file extension for one file, please see link #1.
