(...) Erik, How did you render the POV files produced by l3p. Neither POV-Ray 3.1 (Classic) nor POV-Ray 3.5 (OS X) liked the file that l3p produced. When I dropped the file onto the applications incons in the Dock, the applications just ignored the (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) Well, I don't really know. As I said, James said to do this at the command line /Developer/Tools/SetFile -c "POV3" -t "TEXT" /Users/yourname/yourfile.pov and after doing that, the POV-Ray programs processed the files normally. I don't know why (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

This is more of an issue with POV-Ray. It has everything to do with Macintosh Meta data. l3p creates files with no meta data. If you type: /Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo -c /path/to/.pov /Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo -t /path/to/.pov You get: "" Which (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) Interesting idea. Unfortunately either way fopen creates a file with no Mac type or creator code at all. Because I told the Finder once to open a .pov file with BBEdit, it knows to do that for me. But I still get a blank icon because it has no (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) I wondered that too. I would think that it wouldn't matter. If it tried to open a binary file, I don't think it would be any worse than openning a SimpleText or some other "TEXT" file. POV-Ray still has to check the file for proper POV-Ray (...) (22 years ago, 6-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
