G’day
In our incoming mail, we often have attachments without extensions.
I’d like to give them a unique extension name that can be checked later.
I can attach the name extension, but the script can’t read it later on.
If I give it an extension such as ‘pict’ then it’s fine, but we want it to be unique.
I’ve tried ‘training’ Graphic Converter to recognize the extension, via the ‘Open with’ in the ‘get info’ box, to no avail.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Regards
Santa
