What does that error mean? Any ideas why it would just show up out of the blue?

Where and what is saying this? the o/s when you try to double click on a .bmx file icon on the desktop/explorer window?

I had this once, when UltraEdit was trying to push a source-file with an uppercase extension threw bmk... Check extension. When it's uppercase rename the file and try it again.

It was when I tried to compile a bmx file with the community CE. I posted it in that tread, because thats what it dealt with..(I guess thats what happens when post are moved, because now you have no idea what IDE I am using. It made sense in the CE IDE thread....)

They claim its compatible with brucey's BMK but when I copied his BMK into the bin file, the CE IDE no longer recognized the bmx extension for compiling.

(Yes it worked right before copying that file).

You mean it no longer recognized the BMX extension

which is a good thing if you plan on using non windows machines in future where upper and lower case are not treated as similar ("bmx" <> "BMX").

Did you copy the other required files (those that have the .bmk extension?)
It mentions those in the readme.txt file :-)
They are the supporting Lua-based scripts for it.

@skkidracer. It has nothing to do with upper/lower case....

Notice I mentioned:
(Yes it worked right before copying that file).


Brucey, no I didn't put the bmk files into the bin directory. I must have missed that part. :)

Will try that

If you don't need any of those "extra" features, the default bmk is more than adequate :-)

cool. Thanks brucey, works perfectly now.
