Did you ever hear about trouble with it, from crosslinking 2 files up to "total" data loss ?

GIF image -> .GIF ... plus for applications allowing them to pick supported files by extensions, without the need of brute-force walking through the directory and opening all files

PS: reportedly some "OS'es" (not applications ) do exist not only pre-opening all files for the purpose of checking the signature, but also reading and decoding all data of all files for creating previews ... just in case you find out to be in the wrong directory anyway
