BUG/Parity Issue

Long time ago adjusted my Finder Preferences to show extensions, so can see .xml addition to a file name:
Just for clarification, I did know that. What I did not know at the time was how to permanently remove the .xml extension. In previous editions of the Mac OS, this could be done from the Finder. fgh clued me in that in OS 10.6.8, it must be done from the Info screen

Actually, it turns out it can be done from Finder as well. I don't know why I didn't try that first, but I did now.

I could not make that work.
- Click to select the file.
- Click once more to get into 'renaming mode'. (No double-click, of course, that would open the file instead.)
- It will look like this:
- Click and drag to select the ending instead:
- Remove. (Or click at the end and backspace instead.)
- Enter.
- Confirm.

My internet service was down for the last three days, so I just saw your post.
I really think I had tried all that, and the file just reverted back to .xml. Of course, it is remotely possible that my memory is faulty [8-|]

Ouch. Noticed you weren't around.

Nice to be missed, unless you were relieved [:D]

:Tried again to change the .xml extension in the Finder without success. Had to use Get Info

Just deleted all my imported vocabulary lists because of the bug fixed in SR-1 and reimported without any problem. Altogether that was six lists.
