has anyone created a master list of file-types in a Rev script and parsed what their 8-character creator/type strings are?
Eg.
if extension = "jpg" then set the filetype to "prvwjpeg" if extension = "ppt" then set the filetype to ..... if extension = "doc" then set the filetype to ..... if extension = "mov" then set the filetype to .....
Hi Rob,
If you're uploading files for downloads via other than your own app, this won't work; however if the files are always downloaded via your app, you can compress the files & append the file type in a header or footer, then decompress the download, read the header/footer, and reset the file type. SDB Utilities uses this approach.
If you go the scripted route, use switch logic instead of if logic:
switch extension
case "jpg"
set the filetype to "prvwjpeg"
break
case "ppt"
set the filetype to...
break
case "doc"
set the filetype to...
break
case "mov"
set the filetype to...
break
default
answer "Unsupported file type"
end switch
