| May 24, 2023 at 21:35 | comment | added | reqkuma | @mmmmmm For each config file, were I to create a hard link with a .txt extension in the same directory, that satisfies File Inspector whose Finder "quick view" utility intrigues me. I've got a new mac and don't want to mess it up. If creating those shadow hard links sounds like a bad idea, other than creating file clutter, please warn me. | |

| May 24, 2023 at 19:56 | comment | added | Allan | It’s important to remember that not all files without an extension are text files. Setting a default for this could cause issues going forward | |
