Why must a simple 4 letter ".rwx" determine whether an object is allowed to
be placed or not? It's a frustration to have an object deleted by the BI
just because it doesn't have the .rwx extension on it.

I would be ecstatic if the browser was smart enough to know what
a .cob and .scn file header looks like, and automatically figure out
what kind of model you are trying to use.

If you make a mistake, first you have to find the little triangle,
which might take you five minutes.

Changing the name once you've found it is simple, but then the
cache thinks this object was the other format so you have to go
and flush cache before it will show you the object correctly.

A lot of time and bandwidth would be saved if the browser
was just a little bit smarter. ".cob" abd ".scn" files identify
themselves... .rwx files don't

Why are they assuming a default when they support formats
that can easily be examined and correctly identified?

It should assume .rwx only after it's checked to see it it's a
..cob or a .scn
