Added character to file extension of attachment

A .doc file selected from my desktop arrived at a Windows user with the extension .docc
The mail was just a standard mail with an attachment.
Same thing happened yesterday with file extension .jpg - arrived as .jpgg

I found it! Why the extension changes.
It has to do with signatures!
When you place the PDF file just above the signature (or I guess inside), the extension changes name!
This is my signature:
Jonatan 'Kip' Kipowsky
0709-XX XX XX
[email protected]
Since I have TWO enters (for the air) above the line above my name, when I place the PDF file just above the line I place it INSIDE the signature.
I tried it high above the line and just over. Every time I placed it over, it changed the name, to .pdfdf and such.
How did I find out?
I used at PDF file with spaces in the name, foregin letters (swedish), two different mail servers (smtp) and sent to two different adresses (yahoo.se and my own). I tried with text and without text in the mail. Tried waiting, so the message would be auto-saved and without. Tried all different ways. Yes, friends. For an hour I had no life!
Regards,
Kip

Adding Verity supported file extensions

I need to search files with extensions not supported by
Verity out-of-the-box. There include both ASCII and binary files.
Are there any options for defining additional supported file types
in Verity?

This tutorial was written by Greg Rewis for SASS and LESS (CSS). But the basic procedure should work for any extension you're trying to add.

File extension _000 is being added

I believe this is part of the rollback option which we are
not using.
We tried the Rollback option at one time and it became
confusing for the users as well as for those of us who administer
Contribute 3 because it was adding so many extra files which was
contributing to broken links. We do not need the Rollback option
because our users are only allowed access to development and
everything is backed up daily. Therefore, we disabled the rollback
option.
Even though Rollback has been disabled, the _000 file
extension is still being added to graphics and PDF files. How can
we stop Contribute 3 from adding this _000 file extension? It is
still causing a problem with broken links because the files moved
into production do not have the _000 file extension.

By Default any user role created - ex: Publisher, Writer
etc.. will not have a permission called "Allow users to delete the
files they have permission to edit"...
Edit->Administer Website->Select the role->Edit role
settings->File Folder Access, Check the check box... All users
to delete the file they have permission to edit...
When you give this permission, and if the user in that role
tries to publish a file then he will be prompted with a dialog -
"Do you want to overwrite this file? or create a similar file name
i.e., _000"...
But by default this checkbox is unchecked so, people will
have by default _000 created....
hope this helps...

Printing to PDF adds extra characters in file extension (eg. .pdfg)

Hi.
I have no idea if this is the right forum for my question, but since pdf creation is -- in a way -- printing, I thought I'd start here.
When I create PDFs on my MBP (10.5.4) and send the document to my Windows-using colleagues, they cannot open the files since an extra character has been added to the file extension. This is incredibly frustrating, since I haven't managed to track down the problem.
Is this a problem with the system's in-built PDF-creation tools? Or is it Apple Mail that nefariously adds the unwanted character to the end of attached PDFs? Or might there be some other problem, somewhere?
On my mac, the PDFs look kosher, and my mac-using colleagues can open the files I send to them.
I would be very happy for anyone spreading some light on this subject.
Cheers,
Andreas

Yes, it is a problem with Mail when either the message subject or the pdf document (or any other document type) contain accented characters, I believe.
Until Apple fixes this (which worked in previous Leopard versions), I do not use accented characters when I want to send an attached document via Mail.
HTH ;-))

How do I make the file extension (ie: .tif, .jpg, .eps) in OS 9.2 visible?

I'm trying to transfer files from an old G3 (OS 9.2) to a new G5 (OS 10.5.8). Most files do not show the extension in their name. For example, an Illustrator eps has the file name "layout_final". When I transfer it to the new machine, it recognizes it as an .EXE file and cannot open. If I type in the .eps file extension, where is now reads "layout_final.eps", it then opens in Illustrator. I don't want to have to resort to manually adding in the file extension to every file. Is there a way in OS 9.2 to automatically show/turn on the extension in the file name?
Thanks for the help!
Steve

How are you transferring the files ?
It sounds like you're going through some sort of Windows / DOS formatted media.
If you can network the two Macs together instead, do so.
If you can burn a CD or two on the Mac G3, do so.
If you have to use a USB stick, format it to Mac HFS Extended (aka HFS+) on either and use that.
The key is that if you transfer the files using something formatted for Mac, the file metadata should not be lost, and the files will appear on the G5 as expected, assuming that you have suitable apps to open the files in OSX 10.5

Extension of excel file in email attachment is .excel instead of .xls

I have concurrent program and I'm trying to use the 'delivery option' to send the output as attachment in email. I defined a rtf template and can open the output from 'Output' button correctly. it can also send mail with attach, but the file name of the attachment is .excel which Excel cannot recognize. My question is , is there any setup to specify the file extension of excel output. I'm sure bursting can work correctly, I just want to try the delivery option. Thanks in advance.

I was having an issue opening a spreadsheet with the file extension .xlsm. This appears as an attachment from a client which means macros were utilized when creating the spreadsheet. The problem lies in. The iPads ability to open the attachment. I downloaded the numbers app thinking this would be a default software to open any and all spreadsheets.
Please Help!
Ipad 2- iOS5

You may need a version without macros on it. Unfortunately, pretty much all apps are skinned down versions of their original program, often with less functionality. For example in a word document I can italicize,bold and underline, but I only have a handful of fonts to play with and I don't think I can insert tables or images.
It is very possible that the app simply cannot run macros, which means that document may never work on an iPad.

Double Extension Added to Downloaded Files

I am trying to download a QIF file for Quicken and on completion of download the extension appears at download.qif.txt. When I remove the .txt extension leaving just the .qif extension the file type changes to quicktime. Checking Quicktime I do not see QIF as a type of file extension approved. Any suggestions on how to get to work. I can download other QIF files but this one site is causing issues. I tried down loading to a PC and emailing the file however the files shows up as text in the email and not as an attachment. I tried installing the 10.4.7 combo suggested in a previous post but no luck.
Regards.

What is happening - when you first start capturing, the Mac OS is instructed by FCP to allocate disk space for the capture. If you have not set capture limits in the preferences, it allocates almost all the hard disk, and gives it a temporary file extension of .av. When the capture successfully completes, with the video recorded to some of that space, the system renames the space used by the video to the capture file name, typically filename.mov. It then frees up the unused space in the .av file.
If you fail to complete the capture successfully, by force quitting FCP, the end cleanup never takes place, and the .av file remains filling up the disk. If you try the capture again, it will fail due to no free disk space. To recover, delete the .av file from the finder, and restart FCP. Better yet, reboot and restart FCP.

I have had my macbook pro since June and have had no problems sending an email until I have tried to send a presentation today. The above message is what I keep receiving even after using 3 email accounts.

Email providers often set file size limitations to conserve bandwidth and prevent service overload. Most common seems to be a limit on the order of 21 MB. If possible, break your presentation into two parts and send as two messages.

Please can you help me as soon as
Rawa Zangana

Hi Rawa,
You can use EAC or EMS to set the MaxSendSize. The default value of MaxSendSize is 10 MB.
If you use EAC, here is the steps:
Logon to EAC -> Mail flow -> Receive connectors -> settings-> type the Maximum send message size you want to set
If you use EMS, please use the cmdlet Rajith provided.
Hope it helps.

Quicktime automatically adding file extension?!

I use Quicktime for all my video playback - so i'm assuming my problem lies with this?
I do VJing and when I'm downloading video clips (non-mpg4) i.e. avi, flv etc - the downloaded files are adding a '.mpg' extension onto the file - so that it wont playback automatically in quicktime. For example a file downloaded called '1234.avi' ends up in my download/desktop folder as '1234.avi.mpg'?
The problem means I have to manually alter each file name deleting the .mpg file extension (and confirming each time that I want to change it) - so it will load in quicktime. I'm assuming it may be because I have ticked the box on 'always open this file type with quicktime' - which is what I want, but how do I stop it adding the file extension each time?

Thanks for your help. I wasn't aware you could disable that alert in the finder? I'll have to look at doing that.
Whilst I take your comments on board - are you suggesting that Safari (web browser being used) - is adding the file extension on download?

.XML extension automatically added to all files

GM,
I am very familiar with office 7 and the XML format. What is happening is that a second extension is being added to the file. e.g. a excel, word, pdfs, etc) "resume.docx.XML", *.pdf.XML.The file cannot be opened in windows
7. Stripping out the .xml from the file does not help either.
If I go back to an XP system, the file is fine. (The .XML extension is gone.)
Any suggestions are welcomed.

Preventing file extensions being added to variable text (File Name)-

…when one imports one INDD file (v5 or 6) into another. We have the variable text specifications set to exclude file extensions. The .indd does not publish in the originating document.
We use INDD import and the text variable "File Name" quite a lot.
TIA-
-Todd

I think he's saying that when you open an ID doc, the filename variabe inside can be set to report just the name, but when you import that same doc into another ID doc, the filename variable shows the ".indd" extension.
EDIT: Yes, that is (stupidly) how it seems to work. No idea how to fix it though. Suspect Adobe has to issue an update.

Hyperlink without adding file extension

I have created a website using iWeb and have several links on it to other files on my computer. IWeb overrides the text I put in as the link and adds the file extension to it. I have tried renaming the file without an extension but it is always put back by iWeb. How can I make sure the file extension is not viewable on the web page?

Highlight the link URL and overwrite it using the Link inspector.
