In X it does want to know, just like Windows used to but now doesn't 
because it wanted to be more "Mac-like". Now Mac is more like Windows 3.1
It needs the file ending, and the exact file ending.
Also, you can nip that screen shot madness in the bud, by changing all 
files of that kind to JPGs by doing that in the get info window after 
you've dropped one on Preview and converted it.
This PDF madness is ridiculous.

Also, simple AOL sound files won't open at all, but claim they are .au.
