HI Jim Read the docs on ask file. You need to use type codes on MacOS rather than extension filters. Hopefully we will get extension filters for OS X soon.
You will also need to read up on stackFileType and/or fileType to handle your custom file type on MacOS & OS X. Also if you don't know much about plist files you might want to use my suped up distibution builder that you can download from: http://www.sweattechnologies.com/rev/sweatDistributionBuilder.rev It's not linked into the /rev/ index so you will need to click on the above link. Anyone else can downlaod and use it too, however, I've only done it as a reference implementation of a number of my feature requests for the RunRev team. The changes include: - saving/opening from/to invisible stack file format allowing for seamless upgrade - a copy files tab on the last stage to copy any extra files like manuals etc - improved (and simplified) plist changes including document type extension, name, code and role. I've also added CFBundleExecutable and changed the executable name from Revolution to the name you enter in on the OS X tab. - resizable window - an auto update option that will update all version numbers & names etc with one change rather than doing it for each platform - the ability to enter in a naming convention for your mainstack - the fields on the Windows > Other Version Information button are now on the card.
