Re: AuthorTools in Mathematica: Don't omit the .nb suffix

Just went through a *big* hassle with an add-on package AuthorTools that
manipulates notebooks and notebook contents in Mathematica on the Mac.
Turned out the problem was leaving the .nb prefix off the notebooks
involved. The basic Mathematica app was OK with this; the package
wasn't.

Please tell me you reported that as a bug in addition to the helpful
warning to users here.

Well, I also described it on the comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica
newsgroup, but didn't attempt a bug report to either Apple or Wolfram.

Reasons for not doing so:

1) Don't know how to; have all I can handle trying to keep up with the
relevant newsgroups themselves -- and have had some negative experiences
trying to report bugs elsewhere in the past.

2) Bug reports to developers not archived by search engines, e.g.,
Google Groups (at least, I don't think so), therefore much less
available to ordinary users who encounter the bug in the future.

If developers really don't have someone tasked to monitor these groups,
they should have (there are a couple of Wolfram guys who do monitor the
Mathematica newsgroup). If you know how to forward my report to Apple
or Wolfram, you're very welcome to do so.
