Naming Files

spamguy

Something for everyone to know:

Administrators have zero control over how files are named. If they're typed wrong, Zelda and I can't do anything about it. The server reads your given filename and rewrites it to look good to the user.

If it reads an underscore, it replaces it with a space.
It chops off suffices, like .sit
It can only handle 31 character filenames, because that's what the Finder can handle.

So, if you name your file cwov102.sit (That's how I submitted CompuWars 1.0.2 in the past), it will come up on the Add-On list as cwov102. A better name would be CompuWars_102.sit.

Keep this in mind. Thanks.

Er...perhaps it is time to get rid of the electoral college. Or at least make Florida divvy up its votes. Anything that keeps Bush locked up in the Guv's mansion, out of trouble.

What about "CompWars_1.0.2.sit"?

I worry that the dots would cause trouble when the server reads it. If you want to test it, please do.
