I think it is VERY COMMON behavior :-)

Note, if you develop CROSS-platform application,
Then it is good idea to have

  fi =  getFolderItem( "mydb.vdb" )


And in this case EVEN on mac you always will have .vdb
You see?

We have many MAC only developers, which use SINGLE-file mode for db,
So they prefer to not use extension to be MAC-savvy
