Hello, I believe that there are a lot of old applications that produce some data in their own file formats. As time goes these applications are being substituted. However data format conversion problem remains. The question is which of popular old-time file formats do you think need to be converted to new ones ? The motivation of suc...
I've been wondering what kind of ways seek is implemented across different file formats and what would be a good way to construct a file that has a lot of data to enable efficient seeking. Some ways I've considered have been having equal sized packets, which allows quick skipping since you know what each data chunk is like, also preindex...

What problems was XML invented to solve? From what I can tell, it seems like it specifies a uniform syntax for things that may have vastly different semantics. Unlike, for example, an HTML file, a Java source file, or a .docx document, one cannot write a program to extract any kind of high-level meaning from an XML file without lots of...
My wife has a Bernina embroidery machine and I'd like to experiment with creating designs programmatically. I'd like to either find out how to output data in a format the machine's software will accept, or else find a free or inexpensive utility that can convert from a format I can produce (such as HPGL, or something else documented) to...
How does one develop a software to read a proprietary file type without having that proprietary software. Something like what the open office folks did with MS Word (.doc) files. Open Office can read .doc files. That might be easy if the proprietary software has an open source SDK to it, for example Adobe has the Flex open source SDK so...

Hello, I have a slight dilema, we're about to hire an intern and his first job will be to go through roughly 200 PDFs, 40 Adobe Photoshop files, around 300 word documents and 120 excel files to verify that they are not corrupted and whether they have any protection on them (password). I don't want to bore the kid, so I was thinking of ...
Hello SO, This question concerns XML schemas and files. Suppose I am developing a desktop application with a file-based interface, i.e. the user stores their progress in a file on disk - pretty standard for the vast majority of productivity applications and many more besides. The file is fundamentally XML, whose schema is stored by som...

Are Apple's binary plist format and/or the related keyed archive format actually documented anywhere? I know that there is Apple open source code for binary plist parsing out there, which is a good start, but reverse-engineering the format and its revisions from that is less than ideal. Is there any actual explicit documentation on thi...
