PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT
|
||
|
SIMPLY CHANGING A FILE TYPE WILL USUALLY NOT HELP.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a list of some of the more common Macintosh file types and
|
||
|
creators. You can use Executor's Get Info function (under the File
|
||
|
menu, or Cmd-I for a keyboard shortcut) to set the file type and
|
||
|
creator, but please read the rest of this description before you do.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is most useful when working with certain types of downloaded
|
||
|
files such as StuffIt archives, or when first importing a
|
||
|
cross-platform file such as a TIFF which was created on a PC.
|
||
|
|
||
|
***********************************************************************
|
||
|
* NOTE: This will not help you if the file that you transferred had *
|
||
|
* important information in its resource fork. For instance, *
|
||
|
* applications will not work when you transfer just the data fork and *
|
||
|
* then set the type and creator, because applications contain CPU *
|
||
|
* instructions in 'CODE' resources, which are not stored in the data *
|
||
|
* fork. *
|
||
|
***********************************************************************
|
||
|
|
||
|
Some of the entries in this table are known to *not* require any
|
||
|
information in the resource fork. StuffIt archives, Compact Pro
|
||
|
archives, and Word formatted data are three examples, but some of the
|
||
|
document types listed herein may indeed require information in the
|
||
|
resource fork. In those cases, simply changing creator and type is
|
||
|
unlikely to be beneficial.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In general, it's best to transfer Mac files either by having Executor
|
||
|
read Mac formatted media (like floppies, zip drives or hard disks), or
|
||
|
by first converting the Mac files into HQX format, since it is the
|
||
|
most portable format. If you're a power user and you can make use of
|
||
|
the information in this table, that's great, but if not, it's less
|
||
|
error prone to just always use HQX as an intermediate form.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note too that Executor directly recognizes only a few file types.
|
||
|
Others which do not have their own resource fork icons will be
|
||
|
displayed with the "unknown" icon -- a blue circle with a red question
|
||
|
mark. This does not necessarily mean that there is anything wrong
|
||
|
with the file; it only means that Executor does not have a
|
||
|
predetermined icon for it.
