Damn! Absolutely correct - have a thumbs up. Of course it could be unwise for the OS to have to probe into each file to get its type. That way malware lies. So the only issue is the hiding of the extension.

So obvious. So right. I’m going to blame my previous oversight on the fact that I’ve currently got Covid and any thinking is hard work.
