".saved" file extension

Does anyone know how OSX can create a file with the ending ".saved"?
Background:
Somehow my inlaws deleted their Mail.app preference file (mail created a new one and became defaulted, losing their mail accounts) but the old one was still in the Library with an added extension: "com.apple.mail.plist.saved". I can't figure out what they did, nor how to recreate this event. Using Copy or Archive do not create this extension. I deleted the new preference file, removed the .saved extention from the old one, and the Mail was back to normal. All I know is it happened while working on a Pages document that they were intending to email.

Thank you so much Andy. That really takes all the mystery out of it and now I know exactly what happened, as all the pieces and the things they said are now making sense.
After Mail crashed and got defaulted it asked for the password for their defunct .Mac mail account (automatically imported from the .Mac prefs). They went to the Keychain to find the password and somehow ended up deleting the password to iChat (and .Mac) as well.
I told them it's time to upgrade to Leopard so I can get TimeMachine up and running. I also may make them write their passwords in a .... BOOK .... and hide the Keychain app!
Thanks BDAqua. The first thing I did was a permission repair and restart.

Photoshop CS6 stopped saving file extensions

I am running PhotoShop CS6 on Mac Yosemite 10.10.2. Photoshop suddenly stopped saving file extensions. I can open the files saved on my computer, but others cannot because the file extension is missing. Under preferences > file handling > append file extension, "always" is selected. It doesn't matter which file format PSD, JPEG, PNG, etc., the file extension is not saved. I have the capability to view the file, but if I send it to someone else, or if I save it to dropbox and download it back to my computer, the image cannot be viewed.

Try resetting the Photoshop preference file: Hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Opt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop's startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

Double file extensions keep showing up when saving a file in Illustrator CS3???

I just installed the CS3 suite and when I am saving files in illustrator I keep getting double file extensions. For example if I save a file named "filename" as a .eps file it shows up in the save window with filename.eps.eps Also, if I click through the possible file types to save it keeps adding them one after the other so if I click. say pdf eps and ai the file in the "Save As:" window looks like this " filename.pdf.eps.ai.ai" Any ideas why this is happening? I keep having to mouse click in the "Save As:" box and delete the extra extension. This is really annoying!!
I am running the design premium CS3 on OSX 10.5 on a mac pro.
Thanks.

>Wade... I've seen it... and reported it originally to Adobe. I've since realized it's a 10.5.1 issue. It doesn't happen with 10.4.11, just 10.5.1
I've seen extra periods (.) and extra extensions.
then you and Dave have the same conflict with a third party software, corrupt font, corrupt preference or the like because it is not happening o my Mac Pro and I have the same model Mac as you do and I am working fine in 10.5.1 and only problem I have had with AI CS 3 is when I tried to place a 3D CAD file with the extension .dxf which is not really supported.
I have not seen this even once. Would you like to see screen shots, it honestly is not a 10.5.1 or Illustrator issue on its own. This has to be user specific.

Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences. And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro. I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

When I try to open a saved image with the "htm" file extension all I get is a page of gibberish text.

I have the new Snow Leopard system on my iMac. I saved several images from an art site. The file extension on each image is "htm". when I try to open each image all I get is gibberish tpye text.
Can convert these "images" to jpeg files so I can view and edit them?
thanks

If the images have a .htm(l) file extension then you need to rename the files and give them an image file extension like .jpg<br />
That should be sufficient to make programs recognize them as images.

One of my imacs are saving all my files with a capitalized file extension?!

one of my imacs are saving all my files with a capitalized file extension?! For example: .psd is .PSD this really suck because I keep getting to versions of all my files. Can someone please assist me in fixing this. Thanks! -derek

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Did you format your hard disk on that Mac any differently?

Support for file extensions with more than three characters when saving - I want my FLAC!

Why does the Wave Editor still drop characters from filenames with more than three character extensions when you save a file? But since -opening- a FLAC file with an extension of ".flac" doesn't get chopped to ".fla", why does Audition still chop off the extra character when -saving-?
It gets old quickly when you have to save, close and reopen files in order to get Audition's Multitrack editor to play nice and be able to find files when you reopen the Session.
Given that the FLAC filter is open source, I may just have to modify the code and recompile it to force a save to ".fla"... But of course, ".fla" is a Flash file extension, which I also use, so that is a crude hack for me.

Hi bro...
use in BYTE mode in place of in TEXT mode. and at the end of each line give some special charactor so as to distinguish between lines.This is effected by unicode check too

I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011. When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?

I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011. When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?
All other .xls documents created by Mac Office 2004 retained the .xls file extention when I migrated them over to the new MacBook Air.

I know what happened. When I saved the document I somehow hit the Hide File Extension box. Sorry to trouble this group. I simply resaved it w/o activating the Hide File Extension feature.

Saving image files - TIFF file extension wasn't acceptable

Hello!
When I save an image on my iMac the default situation appears to be that the file has a TIFF file extension.
Please review the post I recently made here: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/why-are-tagged-image-file-format-tiff-fil es-unacceptable-here.370185/#post-2426799
I should be grateful if someone can shed some light on my conundrum/confusion. It should be self-explanatory!
Any help will be gratefully received!
David B.

Hello again So sorry for the delay in replying to folk for the helpful responses.
If one re-visits my original link one can view a response - in essence, look here:- https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090125135844AAwqjkB
After some reflection, I decided to do nothing at all! However, today I looked under 'Grab' preferences and found that there is no way to change the image format of a screen capture. BUT ..... I then looked under 'Grab Help' and found this ....
Save screenshots: After taking a screenshot, choose File > Save, enter a name, add a tag (optional), then choose a folder. Screenshots are saved as TIFF files.
Convert a screenshot to another format: Open your screenshot in the Preview app. Choose File > Export, click the Format pop-up menu and choose a format, then click Save. For more information, see Convert graphics file types.
So I now know what to do if/when I need to switch to another format!
Many thanks to rkaufmann87 and Frank Miller2 - your guidance is much appreciated,
David B.

Saving attachments on Snow leopard mail loses file extension when saving over an existing document

Saving attachments on Snow leopard mail loses the file extension when clicking on an existing file to copy the name. Is there something I can switch on in the preferences to fix this?

I work for a publishing company where our clients send their copy to us in Word documents. We might have several versions sent to us before the final version comes in.
It is instances like this where we want to overwrite a document on the server with the most up-to-date version (which is usually named differently to the original file). We really don't want to clutter the folder with lots of different revisions. The quick way to do this is to click on the document we are replacing (this copies the document name). Previous versions of OSX Mail used to keep the file extension but Snow Leopard seems to remove it.
It's annoying as there is no particular logic to this. We just have to manually type ".doc" at the end of the document.
Incidentally, this happens with any attachment file type.

Marking a file extension during saving???

Hi.
The problem is, when a file is going to be saved, how can I do such a improvisation like a "save as" dialog?
To avoid the "poor" technique of, user typing the extension, can do a something like a "save as" option in the JFileChooser saveDialog(), to offer a list of extensions and when user pick up one, to add it to the file name path, during file saving ?
Thanks!

Here is the solution I came up with. It will add the file extension if a FileExtensionFilter is selected, and you can set it to warn on write over

Firefox does not add file extension on files when saving

When I ask to save a file, the save dialog box in Firefox deletes the file extension (e.g., "doc", "pdf", "ofx") from the filename, and I must manually add it back. Prior versions did not behave this way.

You can try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Saved files have no extension

I have two copies of Photoshop CS6, one is installed on mac os 10.9.5 and the other is installed on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. On both of them I save files and they save without a file extension. The issue first presented when attempting to save .jpg and is also happening with .psd files. So far all research into the issue has turned up nothing. I have already performed all updates on the application itself.

Do you have any period characters in the filename? Photoshop may think you've already given it an extension.
What happens if when you're doing File - Save As, you put the extension it should have on the end of the filename?
I don't know about Mac but do you have Windows configured to show you filename extensions? You should; that reduces confusion:

Photoshop cs5 is not appending file extensions

in previous versions, photoshop appended to the file extension in the fiel save/save as dialog box. it no longer does this and when you save a file it does not append the file extension to the file name, resulting in unknown fiel type.
i am running windows 7 64-bit with photoshp cs5.
it does not make any since to have the option of appending the file extension if the program is not going to do it.

The operating system has no problems with the filenames ... it is Photoshop that is not handling the names correctly.
Just tried this out on my Windows 7 64 bit system, and I get the same results using Photoshop.
When I save a file in Photoshop CS5 64 bit with the name 047. Crayon - Abstract the file is saved as 047. Crayon - Abstract without a file extension, no matter what document type I select in the drop-down.
In Word I get the expected result:
When I save a file in Word with the name 047. Crayon - Abstract the extension is automatically added (047. Crayon - Abstract.docx)

How do I get PSE 12 to save a TIFF file with file extension ".tiff" instead of ".tif"?

I am using PSE 12 as an external editor for Aperture. When I ask to use an external photo editor, Aperture creates a .tiff file in my Aperture folder, launches PSE 12 and tells it to edit that .tiff file. This all works great. When I am done editing in PSE 12, I ask it to save the file and it saves it back to the original Aperture folder with a .tif extension. I can instead say "save as" and then it suggests the file name with a .tif extension. When I correct the extension to .tiff it warns me that I'm going to overwrite the file (exactly what I want!). I say yes and then I find out that PSE did not overwrite the file, but wrote it as a .tif file anyway. I have to go to the folder, delete the .tiff file and rename the .tif file to .tiff and then everything is fine - but what a hassle. Has anyone solved this problem?

That's not quite where the problem lies, which is good, because you can't change that. The real solution is that you don't ever want to see the save as window in PSE if you are using PSE as external editor for any program. When you see it you aren't creating a version for your asset management program. Go to the PSE preferences>saving files>on first save and choose to save over existing file. That should do what you want.

".saved" file extension
