What would be the macro to automatically hide all extensions in a particular folder?

I know my trigger would be a folder, but other than that, I'm lost. How would I go about doing this? Thanks.

Do you mean that you want files that are put into a particular folder to have their extensions hidden? This would be a good start, for a Desktop folder called "Extension Test":

Hide Extension.kmmacros (1.7 KB)

Hide Extension

This only works on files, though. If you want to also be able to drop in folders of files it'll be more complicated...

Ok. So, I take it 1 means empty?

"Extension hidden" is a boolean property -- true or false. In KM, 0 is false and anything that's not 0 is true.

I checked this by using the "Get File Attribute" action to find out what the "extension hidden" value was for various files :wink: Indeed, KM returns 1 when the extension is hidden, so that's what I used.
