NONNATIVE Mac OS
OS X can use file extensions or meta-data about the file in order to determine the file type and how to open it. If stored to a native OS X HFS+ filesystem, then the meta-data is stored within the filesystem itself. On network shares that are AFP volumes, the meta-data is sent along with the file information and the host environment figures out how to store it -- most importantly is that OS X basically sees the file and meta-data just like a native volume.
If you use a non-OS X protocol like SMB/CIFS or NFS, OS X will write the file data and the meta-data separately. The meta-data is stored in a file with the prefix '._'. So, say you have a file named 'My Document', there would be in the same directory a file called '._My Document' created that has all the meta-data. When a Mac accesses a non-native filesystem, the operating system knows to use the dot-underscore files and it does the correct thing when copying files back and forth (merging the meta-data back into the native filesystem, for example).
In your scenario, it sounds as if the meta-data is being lost. This could happen if the meta-data files were deleted for some reason, or the file server prohibited access to files starting with '.', or any of a slew of other reasons. You might consider using the Terminal to check if the meta-data files exist and are accessible.

Discovering non-native macOS Applications As was announced at WWDC 2020, Apple will be releasing Macs later this year running on Apple Silicon based on the ARM64 architecture. This transition will hopefully have us running universal applications but also possibly forced to run some intel only apps transcoded through Rosetta 2, depending on. Mac OS X & macOS names. As you can see from the list above, with the exception of the first OS X beta, all versions of the Mac operating system from 2001 to 2012 were all named after big cats. I was looking for a Mac OS X replacement for AceMoney, something I used on the Windows side for years and then used for a while via their Wine build on Mac OS X. After growing tired of the non-native look and feel of AceMoney under Wine, I finally shopped around the App Store and found Savings.

- Best choice for non-native speakers Nisus Thesaurus has several features that make it the best choice for non-native speakers. The old-fashioned style of thesaurus is not very helpful for English learners because they typically don't know the meaning of the suggested synonyms and so end up choosing a word that doesn't make sense for their particular context.

PC Advisor MagazineIt simply works out of the box too – previously inaccessible drives suddenly show up like any other, and you can now easily transfer data to and from a Mac using an external HFS+ formatted drive as an intermediary. There’s no performance penalty either – we happily transferred multi-gigabyte files via a USB 2 connection at around 40MB/s, for example.

MakeUseOf,Paragon HFS+ does cost $20, but it also offers a 10-day free trial. If you just need to recover files from a drive, 10 days is plenty of time to install this file system driver, copy your files over, and uninstall it. If you want to use Mac drives on Windows on an ongoing basis, paying $20 so you can use the drive properly is a pretty good deal. As a bonus, Paragon HFS+ doesn’t require you have the insecure Java installed.
