Subject:[amigactive] Re: File recognition

Hello Kevin,
Glad it (nearly) done the trick.
All my icons are set to open up in multiview. Now I cannot remember
if that is the 'Default Tool' set in the icon, or whether I had to do
them 'hand-draulically'.
I'm grasping at ether here, but if you set the icon 'default tool' to
visage (obviously including the full path to it) and setting the tool
type on visage' icon to open with the mode you require, this may work.
What actually happens when you double click on the icons?
At least your files are recognised. My Ricoh Rdc-2 saves in some
wierd proprietary format (r6i) and I've got to use a DOS program on
my Win2k box to convert them to jpg's (oh the joy! 8~( )
