This question is not specifically about Cocoa programming but I hope that some Mac OS X experts out there can give me an answer.
I sent an attached photo to my daughter so that she could print it out using Costco print services. I sent it at high resolution, the photo image was 1.6 MB. It seems that Mac mail changed the resolution to a more web friendly size of about 64 K with much reduced resolution. So, I thought that a way to get around this was to change the file type (extension) of the image file to something other then .jpg such as .dat (and, I tried .zz, .q, and null). However, the file was still recognized and interpreted as a jpeg file and treated in the same manner by mail (and, also by the finder that displayed the image). So, it looks like Mac OS X is interpreting the file based on contents and not based on file extension. This seems to be a very wrong thing to do in my opinion. Does anyone know of a way to turn this off or is this considered a "feature" for some ease-of-use aspect of OS X?_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
