Betreff: AW: file suffix isn't connected to the right standard program
Hi Klaus,
at least the icon of the saved video file doesn't shows anymore BBEdit, but
now "QT MPEG4". Though all other "real"
thin LC.
Thanks for the idea!

Hello,
I have mp4 videos stored in custom properties. Before playing them I do:
put the mystoredVideo of stack myStack into URL "binfile:myPath\myVideo.mp4"
After the file is created and assigned to the player and the player is
started, nothing happens on Mac (on Windows everything works fine).

Another consideration:
Three characters allows for approximately 17,576 combinations (26*26*26).
Apple's App Store alone already has over 300,000 apps, and growing.
Three characters might have been enough in 1970 but not today.

Sorry, Cal, I'm just not seeing the big deal with "greater than 3 character"
file extensions... but maybe it's just me..
Stephen,
More like 7,311,616 characters. The creator codes could be small
characters or caps (except Apple reserved all lower case for itself).

Well a horse and buggy used to be the accepted more of transportation, until
those pesky engineers decided to ignore the long standing conventions and

O.K. Ken, given that there are companies in our business that have used more
than a three char suffix. That still doesn't make it right. And I'll bet they

I believe this started back with Adobe, where you could name a file .jpg or
.jpeg. I was under the impression it was for compatibility with OS X which
named files any which way, because their OS is not dependent on a dot extension
like Windows was.

You're right, go back to the DOS naming convention 8+3

I take it you don't like the .livecode suffix very much.
Quite frankly, I think there are many of us that don't either. But we've
also found it's perfectly acceptable to use ".rev" and the stacks will still
