VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Hey Gang— I'm using PT on a Mac— when I "export selected files as" WAVs or MP3s I get a neat little ".wav" or ".mp3" at the end of the filename. (this is from the bin, not the bounce command) When I do the same with AIFs, I get no suffix.

In my Mac's Finder prefs, I have "show all file extensions" checked.

Anyone got a fix?

When you open a new session, is the "Enforce Mac/PC" checkbox checked?

You can add the .aif by clicking once on the filename; it will automatically "select" (highlight) itself. Go to the end of the filename and type in dot plus the extension.

I'll check that "enforce" thing. I'm guessing that makes the extension show up if it's checked?
I'll look in the manual to see what it says about that— thanks!

I have done the paste-it-on method, but it sucks when you need to do it for 100 files.

Deirdre,

The "enforce Mac/PC compatibility thing" was what came to mind for me, too. If you have a session where you didn't do that, you can always do a Save Session Copy In and make sure you do have it checked for the copy. Messy, but it could work.

DB, if you don't find another solution, you can always use a batch re-namer to add the extension. I use R-Name and while it appears the developer's site is no longer valid (or is at the very least redone in Japanese), it looks like the download still works. It's a great little free utility.

Thanks, Don— I have also used A Better Finder Rename but it's much easier to have PT do it!

The Enforce checkbox is the key. Thank you Radio Moo!!
