iSiloX can't convert

[SuBethJimBob]

I installed the latest beta version of iSiloX for MacOS this evening, and discovered a bug right off. I had a text file simply named Rebellion (don't ask!), and iSiloX couldn't convert it because it didn't recognize the file type. When I add .txt to the end of it, it was converted with no problem.

Macintoshes have always been suffix free. ::grin:: I know under OSX that the Unix underpinnings mean the suffixes are somehow used (I'm not a programmer!), but I also know that files I create without them seem to work just fine. Shouldn't iSiloX recognize these files? It has in the past.

Without any other indications, iSiloX uses the suffix to determine the file type, so that it knows how to convert the file (i.e., whether it is text or HTML). It is not a bug. When converting content from the web, web servers usually specify the content type using a header field that is not part of the actual content, and in this case, iSiloX does not care about a suffix since the content type has been specified in the header.
