I noticed that the entire project name doesn’t show up at the top of the program window. See pics. ![18%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/9/92c15c07e69a60bed12f5c5b21825805432a14f8.png) ![44%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/0/052d87e4bbd1e62ad54c041e9fd4ef1508480d31.png) ---

It seems to work as expected for me. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/3/353292bef375c109e577c68f3a4ec0416f3b1ce4.jpeg) It could be that something somewhere is elimination the last little bit of the file – thinking that it’s the file extension – but that seems really really unlikely. So, I’m guessing that there’s something non-obvious going on here. I would open the Get Info window in the finder and look at the full name of the file with the file-extension. My guesses: - Maybe the extension has accidentally been eliminated? - Or maybe the file that you have open is not actually the file that you’ve taken a screenshot of? Isaiah ---

Unchecking “Hide Extension” fixed it. Very odd bug. I have never noticed this before. Thanks Isaiah ![16%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/8/8a0d4abee28e90b814ad0486353e9048f208c33d.png) ---

very interesting. if you re-hide the extension does the bug re-appear? i still can’t make that happen, even with hidden extensions. but maybe it’s worth telling @dan to go investigate the code a bit further. see if there really is some type of bug in there. ---

Will look into this, probably something to do with RW (or the Mac?) thinking the extension is .3 instead of rw8. Very odd. ---

If I re-check Hide it no longer shows correctly in RW. It seems RW is not seeing the extension correctly when it is hidden. ---

I’ve noticed this happening a long time ago and I just stopped using periods in file names. Instead of TLC 1.1.3 I would name it TLC 113. ---

… or if you put the dot behind the last character it works, too. So, looks like this: TLC 1.1.3. ---

just to complete: > [@RW 8 | Filenames don't get displayed fully](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/rw-8-filenames-dont-get-displayed-fully/23070): > > @dan, @Aaron, Hi there, here comes just a little one: When I name project files in RW8, I normally do it, using a versionnumber at the end of the filename. Something like: “importantproject\_1.3”. If I do it like that, the “3” doesn’t get displayed in the editwindow header of RW8. I have to type in a “next character”, maybe at least a “.” (dot). Then the full name gets displayed. [screenshot] ---
