Hi, I've been experimenting with trying out various applications, etc, and have noticed a quirk which may be a bug (?)
Using TechWriter 8.42 if I save a new document to hostfs it fails to be filetyped as 'EasiDoc'. Appears as text. If I look at it with the Linux filer then, as you'd suspect, there is no ",xxx" addition to the filename. Using the RO filer I can give the file the 'EasiDoc' filetype and it is such a document, not text. If I save to the 'IDE' disc (i.e. into the image file) then the document *is* given a filetype when created/saved by TW. This is presumably due to some aspect of how TW gives the new file its type. If I do the same experiment with, say, Vector, then the new files it creates are typed as 'DrawFile' when that was that was what got vector to create. However if I try with 0.8.2 and use the same version of TW to save to the EmuFS 'drive' then it *is* filetyped OK. So for some reasons the way that TechWriter is trying to set the filetype of a new document file is not being correctly passed to the hostfs and actually adding the file extension that then shows as the type. Unless someone else can comment/explain I'll check on my old laptop to see if that behaves in the same way. Similarly, if no-one here can say this is 'known' as a problem or can explain I can raise it on the TW mailing list to see if Martin can deduce the reason and say if TW sets the filetypes in a particular way that hostfs isn't detecting.
