iPhoto 11 and Picture file extensions

Since upgrading to iPhoto 9.2.1, I've noticed that after importing, iPhoto no longer displays the picture's file extension below the pic, or in the information window. All my files have a .CR2 extension when they are imported. All pictures that were in the iPhoto llibrary, prior to upgrade to 9.2.1, display their file extensions below the pic, and in the information window.

I've not been able to locate a preference that allows me to display the file extension in iPhoto... Is it no longer possible to see the file extension in this version of iPhoto?

Thanks,

Bob

"And so are the iPhoto Previews... So, again, you don't need to shoot both."

So either: put memory card into card reader. In email, click "Attach file", select image from card. Press "Send".

OR...

Put memory card into card reader. Load iPhoto and wait while it loads. Import selected photos from card. Wait while images are imported. Select photos to Export and Export to Desktop (for example). Then go into email and proceed as above.

And option 2 is as quick? Am I missing something?

I was working on the assumption that you were using iPhoto. But hey ho, do it anyway that pleases you. Not going to make any difference to anyone else, is it?

That said this:

Put memory card into card reader. Load iPhoto and wait while it loads. Import selected photos from card. Wait while images are imported. Select photos to Export and Export to Desktop (for example). Then go into email and proceed as above.

is rather unnecessary and long-winded. There's no need to export anything.
