Insert this line before saving: set the fileType to empty By default, the filetype is set to "ttxtTEXT" which sepcifies a text file, but if you set it to empty before writing a file, Finder will work out the file type using the extension. You may want to include a check for the ".jpg" extension in the file name before saving. > I can probably live with that, but instead of getting the > portion of my stack window I want, I get coordinants absolute to my > screen (of the right proportions).
