Now for the player object? Do you have any scripts /
appleScripts for figuring out whether the fileType of a file is
supported by QuickTime? I am getting rather pleasant /
unpleasant surprises here - what is being displayed for pdf's
and text files?
ork in progress....
For images and player objects you can check the result() after
setting the fileName of the object. If it isn't empty then there
was an error.
is this a "new" feature?
I remember that with earlier versions the result was always empty,
even if you selected
a text (TXT) file.
Sorry, I need to clarify. If an error occurs while opening Rev
tries to open an image in an image object or any media in a player
object then result() will not be empty. When dealing with
QuickTime, both text and PDF (pdf on os x only) are acceptable
media types so no error is returned since there wasn't one.
You can use the EnhancedQT external AND the result() check for more
control. The function sqtCanOpenFile() AND qtGetMovieFileType()
can be used in the EnhancedQT external. qtCanOpenFile() can be set
to disregard TEXT files so it will report false will you pass a
text file to it. qtGetMovieFileType() will report the type,
multiframe graphic, image, unsupported, etc. PDF and GIF would be
multiframe graphic types. You still need to check the result()
because QT thinks it can open some MPEG files when it really
can't. You can check out the external at <http://

Go figure :-)
Sorry, i only meant images and thought that the result was empty in
any case in
earlier version when you tried to set the filename of an image to
e.g. a text file.
