Re: [Sc-devel] scel doc entry in mac save menu



I'm not sure that would be a good idea. People may count on rtf files being readable in other applications. On Mac that seems to work, but I'm not sure it would on other platforms.

If the file format is unchanged, you can always open the document with whatever application you like, no?
I don't know on linux, but on win is like on mac, e.g. you ask to open a scr with MSWord. But at least default application is with no doubt SC.

Plain text is a different matter, as there is a tradition of associating scripts with languages by extension.

Can't we change the extension? E.g.

SC Rich Text Document (rtf)

--> scr

SC Rich Text (with attachments) Document (rtfd)

--> scrd

On win, you have always the default association with M$ Word. 
On Mac, randomly TextEdit comes up (e.g. all the rtfs in my SC/examples folder. Why?) .
More, in this way one is pretty sure s/he is working with SC documents.
This should not break anything (it's just the file extension name).

Yes, it should be changed to "SuperCollider document" IMHO. Let's do

Save as menu on the mac app refers to "scel document" to save as scd.
Shouldn't it be "SC document"?
