No thanks. The files are not broken, your idea of needing to double-click the file is the problem here.

Yea GUIs are stupid!
No, the idea that I don't own the file name is stupid. The goddamned computer should figure out what data type the file contains.
Until it has to figure out what data type files like this one contains http://code.google.com/p/corkami/downloads/detail?name=Corka...
So the user must always decide what to do with a file instead of the user interface? Seems backwards to me.
