Also, Revolution itself does not use either the extension nor the
creator or file-type to determine whether a file is a Revolution
stack or not. Instead, it checks the header to see if it conforms
to the file-format. This means that the engine will attempt to
load any file you give it as a stack file - and it will return an
appropriate error message if it finds that it is not.
Here I should have been more clear - the *engine* itself does not use
extensions nor filetypes.
Provided of course that it uses appropropriate file filtering
criteria for the GetFile dialog to make it possible to select the
file.
From Paul's description it would appear that the IDE isn't using
the new "answer file with type" option introduced in v2.6 -- is
that correct?
The IDE was updated to use the new syntax in 2.6 as soon as it was
introduced - which was actually clear from my email where it
explicitly stated the conditions under which the open dialog filters
Revolution stacks:
"In terms of opening stacks, then do remember you can choose to
display 'All Files', instead of just those identified by either a
'.rev' extension, a '.mc' extension or a 'RevoRSTK', or 'MCRDMSTK'
file/creator type."
Paul, I am guessing, does not use extensions to identify his files,
but instead relies on file types and creator codes and so has noticed
this issue in 2.7.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
