Its pretty damn simple; the extension is not chosen because they assume you want to change the name not the file type that is being declared to the finder.
Geeze, read a damn book and purchase a clue.
Got a tip for us?

Firstly, the idiot MOVED instead of COPY a file - first stupid mistake, second, read the following:
http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=351141&cid=21248993
There are a tonne of variables which are left open to question; btw, I have a hard disk hooked up to my airport shared via smb, and no problems.
So your saying I shouldn't use drag and drop because the OS deletes the file even if the copy doesn't work???
Hmmmm.
Hmmmm.
Control/Right/Hold-click on the Time Machine Dock icon. A contextual menu will pop up with the option "Backup Now". Or are you just complaining about the lack of an obvious button?
What is hard about the new version? If anything its simpler IMHO.No issues except for the my angst with Apple over them changing the Firewall interface. Prior to Leopard, it was easy!
No, the idiot MOVED the file, MOVE is a distructive copy!
Copy the file, once confirmed to have been copied successfully, THEN delete the original - is it *really* that hard to comprehend?

Apparently they've replaced the opensource one with their own proprietary one - buggered if I know why they did that. Spending resources in an area which never needed fiddling with.
Moving a file from one pace to another shouldn't destroy the original until the copy has been successfully made. If I pick up my footstool to move it out the door, and suddenly the door closes, the footstool doesn't just disappear.
I agree that a copy is the more careful way to do it, but if they are going to offer a move function, it should work.
About time. I was almost ready to revert back to tiger. Between random errors, problems switching between programs, etc, I need leopard to be smooth like tiger was.
I have been running 10.5 on my macbook pro for about a week. I haven't had any problems with anything (knock on wood). I "upgraded"/didn't do a from scratch install, and I haven't had any of the problems discussed here. No problems with mail, airport extreme, networking, etc. (although I haven't used time machine yet)
My only frustration is with little snitch saying all my web surfing is an action from the kernel (can't remember the exact phrasing), but it probably just needs to be updated.
as for stacks, meh... it is fine, but as another poster mentioned, I wish apple would allow the user to customize a little more, and keep a few features from previous OSes.
Oh, and yes, I do miss the old firewall interface
10.5 is much speedier overall on my macbook pro

The *only* problem that I have experienced since my move to 10.5 from 10.4 is graphics related.
There are numerous threads about it on Apple's support forums. The Mini, at 1920x1200, has graphics distortion in Time Machine, when restoring an item from the dock, and even when viewing large pictures sometimes.
If they make an option to turn off the background in Time Machine so I don't get the silly starfield in motion, my complaints cease.
Now, if they could fix the whole graphics thing, I'd be really happy.
I don't expect the nitpicky stuff to get looked at for several versions (if at all).
I'll be interested to see the feature list on the 10.5.1 release.

Well, I've only been around as long as Panther, but I totally agree with you. Apple has definitely lost their magic touch, IMHO. I always used to take pride in the fact that they never released code from beta until it was ready. Not so with Leopard.i've used every mac system since os6 and cant remember a worse f--up than LEOPARD is.

Arnel,
That worked, thanks so much for your tip. Now I need to do some sorting out with the mail accounts.

Still haven't heard about any "real", consistent and reproducible problems with Front Row (even on Apple Support Forums). Most everything is just complaints about how things have changed. Things have changed to be almost exactly like AppleTV, the interface of which (designed for TVs, mind you) nobody seemed to have a problem with before.
The few that are possibly legitimate are subjective at best (font size, iTunes and Front Row now separate): some may see them as an improvement.
Sometimes complaints are real complaints, sometimes they're just unnecessary whining.

I just started having the issue where my MBP's keyboard would intermittently stop working and now my trackpad doesn't work. A plugged in mouse works tho....

Great!
it's badly needed! (things like repairing permissions not working is serious!)
Huh? Repairing permissions works fine. Not that repairing permissions has been necessary since 10.2.
Guess I've been lucky. So far, Leopard is working faster and better for me than Tiger did. It's like I have a whole new computer. The only bump I have is that Daylite doesn't sync but they say they are working on it.
Updates are good and as an early adopter (which is referred to around here like some kind of cancer) I will update immediately!

So because he MOVED the file instead of copying it, he's an idiot? I use move all the time. Move is a simple concept, the only idiots and the engineers at Apple who apparently can't program this stuff properly. And your "OH GOD $TEVE LET ME TOUCH YOU, APPLE CAN DO NOTHING WRONG" attitude is pathetic.
MOVE should work. Period. It's a simple damn feature.
