I can't seem to get setFilterMask to work in Director MX. Authoring on MacOSX 10.2.3 (haven't tried a projector yet). Anyone else seeing this?
I don't *think* I am -- what are you filtering? How are you setting the mask?
I'm filtering for "TEXT, R*ch", but displayOpen is showing me all files in DMX.
That's the problem -- I believe your filter mask string is wacky. I'm not sure what the RTF file identifier is on Mac (don't recall!); have you tried just "TEXT"?
Yeah, I just realized that. Filtering on creator codes doesn't work with any version of fileio. (I was getting confused with get/setFinderInfo.)
My problem still exists, though. I'm trying to use setFilterMask with the following types, which doesn't appear to work under DMX (mac):
"TEXT" "MV07" "MV08" "MV85"
Here're some msg window tests:
set f = new( xtra "fileio" ) setFilterMask( f, "MV85" ) set p = displayOpen( f )
I wonder if this is a side effect of Apple's move toward using file extensions(?).
