Ventura File Extension Bug

Hi, I visited this thread and discovered what appears to be a bug:

How to hide extensions in Ventura? - Apple Community

Within the "Save as PDF" dialog boxes in both Apple Mail and in Safari, checking the box "Hide Extension" does nothing. The file extension is always displayed in the saved file's name, regardless of whether that box is checked. This behavior is new for me with the update to Ventura, 13.1.

In Finder Settings, "Show all filename extensions" is unchecked, and toggling it on and off again has no effect on the above behavior.

Screen shots attached...

Has anyone else noticed this?

Seems normal...

I could not see recognizing most anything without extensions showing, however I am not you.

Sorry, I don't understand your reply. So you believe that normal behavior for the OS is that the "Hide Extension" box performs no function? Or are you saying that the "Hide Extension" box works properly for you?

Can you save PDFs from Mail and Safari with the file extension hidden? I can't.

(And I could before the upgrade to Ventura)

I have never attempted to hide a file extension in over 20 years... to say more.

I don't see any "Save as PDF" dialog box. There is an "Export as PDF" action. Is that what you are talking about?

I'm not being pedantic here. There are lots of 3rd party PDF tools and most of them will change and/or break default behaviour with respect to PDF tools. So if you are describing something that others don't see exactly, I can't assume it is just a typo.

It looks like one of your screenshots is corrupted. Sometimes the forum does that to attachments.

I can't reproduce what you describe. It seems to work as you would want.
