- FileTyper will change the creator and file type of all files in a
- given directory. This is particularly useful when importing files from
- DOS or UNIX for use on your Macintosh. FileTyper works dependably for
- me, but please work only on copies of your files to be safe!
-
- 1. Click the ╥Locate╙ button to select one of the files you╒d like to
- change. All files you╒d like to change must be in the same folder.
- Only files with the file creator and type you select will be affected.
- The name of the directory your files are in will be displayed at the
- bottom of the window. The file type and creator of the file you╒ve
- chosen will be displayed next to ╥Old File Type:╙ and ╥Old File
- Creator:╙.
-
- 2. Click the ╥Select╙ button and select a file of the type and creator
- you╒d like the files to become, or type in the file type and creator
- in the edit boxes provided.
-
- 3. Check the ╥Remove Filename Extension╙ box if you╒d like the
- existing filename extensions (e.g., ╥.TIF╙ or ╥.EPS╙) to be removed
- from all of the affected files. If you╒d like to add a filename
- extension to all of the affected files, then check the ╥Add Filename
- Extension╙ box and fill in the new extension in the edit box. If you
- don╒t understand filename extensions, then you probably don╒t need
- this feature and shouldn╒t use it.
-
- 4. Click the ╥Change╙ button to make the changes. A dialog box will
- display a list of the files that will be changed. If these are the
- files you want changed, then click the ╥Change╙ button; if not, then
- click the ╥Cancel╙ button.
-
- No payment is required to use FileTyper. The program works fine on my
- system, but I cannot guarantee flawless performance on yours. If,
- after using FileTyper, you decide it is of value, I gladly accept
- donations of whatever you feel is appropriate. Any suggestions or bug
- reports are welcomed.
