Hello,Working with LC 4.5.4 I have a dmg file uploaded on my webserver. When downloading it on a mac with a browser via ftp, the dmg keeps in good order. But when doing put URL pUrl into URL ("binfile:" & tFile) the format of the file seems to be destroyed and my mac thinks of it as being a text file. The same procedure with a exe file on windows machine works fine. What do I oversee? Thanks for any hint Tiemo
Does it actually not work at all? Assuming it maintains its 'dmg' extension, can you right-click on it and open it properly from the contextual menu, or change its info? It may be that without the webserver and browser passing on the mime-type to the OS that the problem is that the OS can't determine what kind of file it is, and therefore it it seen as just a text file. In this case, setting the fileType to "empty" (see user notes in the dictionary) might get it to mount. I found that images saved from LiveCode weren't recognized as such by OS X, when I was using it and wanted to open in a text editor. It may be that LiveCode saves things as "text" files by default in OS X.
Good luck, Warren _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
