What is the difference between RTF and RTFD files? The RTF files that I imported into EF got imported correctly. I imported some RTFD files into EF and they imported as folders.
RTFD documents are stored as a folders (a.k.a. packages), since they may contain embedded graphics files in addition to RTF text content. There is a bug in the current version of EagleFiler such that if you import a folder containing document packages, the packages will be imported as folders rather than as documents. Importing packages by themselves will work, however.
Michael,
Thank you for clearifying that for me.
I just tried importing a .pkg file (instead of importing the .zip file where it was stored), and I got a folder named “-1”. Is this the expected behavior and related to this?
That’s not the expected behavior. The .pkg should be imported as a file if that’s how it’s treated in the Finder. It’s working correctly on my Mac. Could you tell me exactly how you imported it?
(Short story: import using F1 fails.)
Here is what I did exactly:
- I chose a “.zip” file in my EF library, did a “reveal in Finder”
- in Finder, I uncompressed it and got a .pkg file.
- I dragged this file to my Desktop to get it out of the way
- I went to my desktop, selected the file, and hit “F1”
- I got a “-1” folder in my EF library
As you told me it’s working, I tried dropping it on the drop pad and this time it worked, so I guess it’s the F1 importing that does not know how to deal with it.
Thanks. I was able to duplicate the problem using the capture key. I’ll get this fixed soon.
