suppressing extension on export

Is there a way to hide or suppress the ‘rtf’ extension on the files I select for exporting? When exporting an individual file I still get the ‘rtf’ extension even with ‘hide extension’ selected and when exporting a folder all the files within it have it. Not sure if this is a Scr. thing or a Leopard thing or if I’m just missing something really obvious! Thanks.

Why would you not want the extension, out of interest? “Hide extension” does just that - it hides it, it doesn’t get rid of it. Export etc is handled by Apple’s built-in save dialogue box, so it’s handled by their code rather than mine…
