Many files on Hobbes have names with multiple dots, like firefox-24.8.1.en-us.os2.beta_3-wpi.wpi. Has anyone made a utility to get the WPS to see these files as .wpi, .zip, etc.?

David McKenna:
Erich,

  You could try Henk Kelder's Association Editor (Hobbes.nmsu.edu file assoed212.zip). From that you can add associations like *.*.*.zip or *.*.*.wpi etc. to your favorite Unzip program or WPI viewer.

Desktop Wizard - Been using it for the last 20 years !

http://os2notes.net/os2dwizard.html

For unzip - just define the path you want to use:  c:\var\temp\Unzip   Now right click on any ......zip file and now you don't have to worry about the dots !  I was asking around about adding rar, z7 (it's open source now) and other formats, but a course nothing :(

For zip - now drap and drop is possible for files & folders too. Just drag & drop a file on a zip and it's auto added to the zip file.

There's a million settings in dWizard, just copy exactly what I have set - see the settings pics in the review.

Hi Erich

Open the Properties notebook for the program that you want to use to open eg firefox-24.8.1.en-us.os2.beta_3-wpi.wpi (that would be either Warpin or WPIView I guess) and on the Association page enter details that you want supported eg for the above *.*.*.*.*.*.WPI


Regards

Pete

Greggory Shaw:
Also I think the best way is to track down the undot.cmd file (in the yahoo ecom group files section ?).

Create a programs object for it and add to the Xworkplace (Folder actions > menu).

That way you can easily undot every type of file in your download folder at anytime (had this problem with torrent files that used [ ] & ... ) !
