Adding extentions to extention less files

[jocool5]

Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone has ever encounterd a program that will add the extention to files. I have a pc that needs the extentions and a mac that just dosn't care to add them. I don't want to go throught and add them manualy and i have about 100-180 files that need extentions(all different kinds).

Thanks
Joe

Try fileXTension

From the manual:

How to use
Select one or more files in Finder an click the .xyz-Button. After that all selected items with file-extension wonʻt have one anymore – those without file-extensions now have one. You also can drag & drop the files to the .xyz-Button.

Since Apple transitioned to MacOS X, it has evangelized extensions as the standard mechanism for distinguishing among file types. Most MacOS X apps default to adding extensions. The first thing that you need to do is to make sure that your extensionless files are indeed extensionless. This is important because your file extensions may be optionally hidden.

There are numerous file manipulation and renaming utilities. You can find many of them here. Understand that there are no shortcuts to Glory. If you routinely do not append extensions to your file names, you are going to have change habits.

When I have to move user's Mac data to a Windows share, I go thru all their crap with Filenamer and add the extensions based on file tpye/creator.
