I was just finishing up a post wondering how I could have two iCab applications with the same name in the same folder when I figured out the answer--the old version was actually named "iCab" and the new one was more properly named "iCab.app", but I couldn't see the ".app" part of the name.

This was particularly confusing, because when I re-typed the name of each, it still didn't complain, since it automatically left the .app on the one, while the other never had it to begin with (since, I think, it was not an application package, just a monolithic old-style app).

That said, I don't remember Jaguar ever behaving this way... does anybody else remember if it would let you have an application with a hidden .app exist in the same folder as an item that otherwise had the same name?

The behavior technically makes sense, but it's weird from a user perspective.
