THIS CODE WORKS: (look at the MacType and Name)

   JPEGtype.MacType = "JPEGX"

If this works, it's only because you're getting lucky. First, you've assigned an invalid MacType (a MacType can be only 4 bytes);
YES, that was to show how bad it works! And it is NOT depending on the FileType!


and second, you've declared a local FileType, and then passed it to AcceptFileDrop. By the time a file is actually being dropped, this local file type will be long gone.

So the asigned 'value' to me.acceptFileDrop is lost ??

The only way I can imagine this working is if your project happens to have matching types defined somewhere else (somewhere persistent, like in a File Type Set).


Nope it is not depending on other declared filetypes, check the example ...

YES, I am lucky ... to get things to work with REALbasic..
And about the FileTypes, you must have LUCK to get it to work...

PLEASE (to you all), download the example i have written and check if you could see a logic in the RB Filetypes ?? The example include two jpeg files one with FileType and one without. It also describe that there is no affect to the file extensions ...
