How to auto-highlight full filename + extension when renaming

[j.n]

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard yesterday. In Tiger, I was able to click a filename and it would highlight the entire filename + extension. In Snow Leopard, I do the same thing and it only highlights the filename.

Is it possible to highlight the filename AND extension in Snow Leopard?

Thanks for your help.

No, you have to click the file to highlight and then double click to get the extension.

Either CLICK to rename, then DOUBLE-CLICK to select all signs.

Or use the ENTER key and then CMD+A for selecting all signs.

I apologize; I should have been a bit clearer:

Tiger:
Single-click file, single-click filename--> Filename and extension are highlighted

Snow Leopard:
Single-click file, single-click filename, double-click filename --> Filename and extension are highlighted

I'm hoping to get rid of the extra step necessary to highlight both the filename and extension in Snow Leopard, any ideas or is this unchangeable?

I have to rename a lot of files so this would make my processes more efficient.

You can't. Use a renaming tool like Name Mangler.
