Changing the extension hidden property of a file after importing that file into DEVONthink

My question is, would it be safe to use “Show in Finder” to reveal the spreadsheet, then manually change its extension setting using the Finder Info panel.

As a follow up, if that is safe, could I also use AppleScript (something like … tell application Finder to set extension hidden of thisSpreadsheet to true) without problems?

I did something similar here without problems and @BLUEFROG commented on this so I would consider it safe.

So I don’t think changing extension hidden via Finder AppleScript would be a problem.
