ah, well that invokes some really old code. Technically the apple event for open file(s) in comes in, we get one or many files because not only can you double click you can drag/drop multiple files onto the desktop or dock squeak vm icon. We then see if the finder type file type is STim or the file suffix is int IsImageName(char *name) { char *suffix; suffix = strrchr(name, '.'); /* pointer to last period in name */ if (suffix == NULL) return false; if (strcmp(suffix, ".ima") == 0) return true; if (strcmp(suffix, ".image") == 0) return true; if (strcmp(suffix, ".IMA") == 0) return true; if (strcmp(suffix, ".IMAGE") == 0) return true; return false; } Now if you have created an image on windows or linux, and dragged that to the macintosh file system, or are pulling the image from some non HFS+ file system we won't have a proper finder file type, and rely on the IsImageName. That also applies to an image downloaded from the internet, or images that are zipped without Apple's gzip that as we all know includes that __MACOSX meta-data Er yes it should do non-case sensitive compares but this I assure you is orginal legacy code written by a individual who will not be named... The question then is what name does the image file have, and where did it come from? On 27-Apr-09, at 6:04 AM, Stéphane Ducasse wrote:
Hi john
doubleclicking on a image does not launch anymore a new VM but try to load the image in a running one. is it coming from me?
