Does anyone know how i can make a file type for an application i made in blitzmax?

What?


drnmr(Posted 2006) [#3]
a way to stare info and then load it again such as .bmp

Um... WriteStream( url )?

this should be in the Beginners forum, but yeah WriteStream is the baby. Just output whatever data you feel like and call the file what you want, stick any extension on the end, perhaps .dat?

...Or...Do you mean associate a file type with a particular application?

In Windows, this is generally handled by the installer. I'm not sure about OSX or Linux.



You'll need to be less cryptic if you expect a decent answer.

Based on his (eerily bad) response, I doubt that's the case. I was thinking that's what he wanted at first, but it seems not since he said he wants to 'stare info.' (Engrish rules all!)
