- Yes, remembering to specify something other than "MCL2" when saving the
- image (or going in with ResEdit after the fact) avoids the problem.
- But...
-
- Sometimes you may want 2 or more different MCL working images around
- - and you probably want them all to have "MCL2" as their signature.
-
- In this case, when you double-click an "MCL2" document, the Finder picks
- one of these images. It uses a heuristic to pick the image you don't want.
- Rebuilding the desktop may or may not help.
-
- If you want to control which image is used, you can use the program
- Save A BNDL to "bless" one of the images. It's avail for anonymous
- ftp from sumex-aim or from aristotle.ils.nwu.edu (129.105.100.1)
- pub/engber/SaveABNDL13.hqx
-
- BTW - Save A BNDL was originally prototyped in MCL. I could make the
- MCL source available to interested parties.
