Description Jason J. W. Williams 2010-07-19 10:57:21 PDT 
Current versions of WebKit and Safari 5 prevent the opening of HTML files with arbitrary extensions (i.e. .mako). This prohibits the viewing of templating files that are HTML-based. Also, affects embedded WebKit apps.
Comment 1 Jason J. W. Williams 2010-07-19 10:58:36 PDT 
Repro:

1.) Create a sample HTML file named test.mako.
2.) Attempt to open it via File->Open File.

You will be prohibited as the .mako file will be greyed out in the file dialog.
Comment 2 Mark Rowe (bdash) 2010-07-19 16:03:44 PDT 
The dialog presented by File -> Open is part of the Safari application, not of the WebKit rendering engine. Bugs related to the Safari application should be filed at <http://bugreport.apple.com/>.
