I installed Minecraft and I want to hide the .JAR extension on the file on my desktop. I tried just renaming it and deleting the ".jar" from the name, but when I tried opening it, it opened as an archive, rather than an executable, even though I had the "Allow executing file as program." box checked off. What can I do to hide the extension?
View 1 RepliesWhile googling for soft link and hard link i found this part
Code:
{
FILE *fp;
fp = fopen("some.hidden.file","w");
unlink("some.hidden.file"); /* deletes the filename part */
/* some.hidden.file no longer has a filename and is truely hidden */
fprintf(fp,"This data won't be found
"); /* access the data part */

I know about toggling them on and off with Ctrl-H, but I would prefer not to have to use that. I have my options set so that dolphin and konqueror do not show hidden files by default. I even tried adding shopt -u dotglob to my script. zenity invocation (extracted from a more complex statement): zenity --title "Select Print Files to Delete" --file-selection --multiple

Anyhow, I am downloading them using Internet Download Manager running in an XP virtual machine in VMWare on my Ubuntu 10.04 PC (due to the queuing, restart and speed capabilities of IDM). But I digress - the files are being saved on the host (Samba share) without a file extension. So I have a collection of files with names like

I wish to add the extension ".mp4" In Windows this is simply done with the command

rename *. *.mp4
This of course does not work in Linux. I have researched the Linux rename command and reviewed a lot of examples. However, I have not found a way to add an extension to a batch of files which are named with no extension to start with. The spaces in the file names also seem to present an issue. At the moment I am renaming them from the Windows VM while they are sitting on the Samba share using the ancient File Manager program from Windows NT which works great on XP. I have experimented with the file rename facility in Gnome Commander however, it does not seem to want to do something so simple.

At the moment, when I rename a file in Nautilus it highlights the full file name including the file extension. How can I make it only rename the first part of the file and ignore the extension (as it always did)? The odd thing is that if I rename a file on the Desktop directory, it does not highlight the extension.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have made the simple mistake of using dolphin to rename several picture files of types jpg and png. I have no problem viewing them and Ubuntu still knows which is which (if i view their properties it will state File Type: JPEG or PNG) but unfortunately Ubuntu Tweak does not allow you to chose them without the extension (I am trying to change my login background using this) So what i need is something that can scan several files, determine the file type, and add an appropriate extension to it. I have found several to do so for music files but none for images. I am using Ubuntu 11.04 at the moment.

PHP v5 and Apache 2.2
The situation I've got is that my PHP and Apache installs do not recognize files with the .php5 file extension. I can successfully open .php files in my browser just as I have designed them. However, when I try to open a .php5 file in my browser, it simply outputs the code and not the web page (as it should). I've pasted (what I believe to be) the relevant parts of the output from phpinfo() command below. Any help correcting this is greatly appreciated as I have searched the forums and the Internet fairly exhaustively with various different keywords and still have come up empty. I think if I could figure out how to add ".php5" to the list of "Registered PHP Streams" then I would be all set, but I can't figure that out. I also tried copying /etc/php.ini to /etc/php.d/ and re-naming it php5.ini, but this did not work.
