Well, Photoshop is moderately complex when it comes to opening
files. It gives you the option of specifying a specific type, all
readable types, or all files. If you select 'all files', it will
attempt to open any file you select, and only after trying to open
it will it indicate the file is not a valid image file.
Word acts the same way.
All I'm saying (and I'm not the only one) is that the only way to
be sure your user has selected a file your application can handle
is to check the file for the formatting your application expects
and report success (continue processing) or failure (tell the user
the file selection is invalid).
Yes, this is some to think about.
And in my case (that many say is wrong), I would like to help the
user quick find the file.
So I set .xml in my filter as steep one, steep two check it if a
'Word XML' file
You can set your filter up any way you want, but even that isn't
going to prevent a user from changing the extension or the file
type of an 'invalid' file so that it appears valid.
here I check in steep two inside the file (it is Word XML?)
Not really true, if you using RB, it was here the problem start...
To create a filter that only shows .xml files.
I get some ideas how to do it, but when it appears to be impossible,
then it was easier to say it is Not Mac like.
