Again and again I run into this most annoying behavior of Explorer
that it does not accept filenames that only have an extension.
When dealing with certain packages that are designed to run across
multiple platforms (e.g. eclipse) one frequently has to deal with
such files (e.g. .plugin or .project - these are files that are
supposed to be normally hidden in *nix systems and so their name
starts with a '.'). I then always have to fire up the DOS window to
rename or otherwise manipulate such files "manually".
I would say it is a poor crossplatform design if You have to rename
files to make it work.
Can't one tell Explorer to just shut up and accept such filenames,
even if they consist only of an extension and no name? Some registry
tweak or whatever?

I think it will be easier to make *nix hide _name or !name
then it is to make explorer accept .name
Kind regards
