I have just started using Sublime Text and their workspace files have the horrible long extension ".sublime-workspace", so I want to hide that and only that extension.

When I do "Cmd+I > Hide extension" the extension is still shown unless I untick "Show all filename extensions" from Finder Settings. But if I do that Finder also hides .png and such, which is not an option.

Is there a clever Terminal command for this?

I doubt that Apple have programmed such an option. It's certainly undocumented. – benwiggy Feb 14 '23 at 08:52
Unfortunately, there isn't such a command or option. – IconDaemon Feb 14 '23 at 13:04
I do it the other way. Let them be hidden by default, then have a set of rules in Hazel configured to set the option on files correctly in directories I care about, like ~/Documents and its subfolders. – Marc Wilson Feb 14 '23 at 20:04
@MarcWilson could you please elaborate on that in an answer - sounds like a good workaround :) – Tonald Drump Feb 14 '23 at 20:10
@TonaldDrump I already have, way back when. https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/425815/89967 – Marc Wilson Feb 14 '23 at 23:43
