Mac doesn't not accept to create folder name ".service" on Finder
Using Visual Studio I created a Project in a folder named "something.Service" It works file without problem. The same happens if I export this project to a Windows machine.
When I look on it via Finder the folder has an extension called ".app" and it is not accessible via Finder.
When I try to access this folder via Terminal there is no problem.
On this print screen, I show this discrepancy on Finder and Terminal
Why I can't use this Name on Finder?
Solution 1:
This is because .service
extension is special. I can't find information on why, but it's treated as an application.
You cannot avoid this in Finder. If the filename ends in .service
, it will behave this way. If you want to view the contents of the folder, right click and choose "Show Package Contents."
It won't impact the file system or other applications.
