Save as all files doesn't work?

netmaestro · Post by **netmaestro** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 12:59 am

If I write a program, choose "Create Executable", enter "MySaver.scr" in the filename box and choose "All files" in the file type box, I expect it to be saved as "MySaver.scr". This does not happen. It gets saved as "MySaver.scr.exe". What is the point of the "All files" option if it's just going to stick ".exe" on the end of everything? For those of us writing screensavers it is much easier if we can save a .scr directly in \system32 and test it without renaming and relocating.

Good point, let's have a look.

i totally agree with that, it can be very annoying while writing a screensaver.

Note than with the new IDE you can automate the rename by an external tool triggered automatically after a 'Create Executable' event (for a temporary workaround).
