I've recently taken the plunge into DirectX and have been messing around a little with Anim8or, and have discovered several file types that models can be exported to that are text based. I've particularly taken to VTX files. I've learned how to parse some basics out of it, but I'm obviously missing a few things. It starts with a .Facese...

Hi I am looking for a software which is able to decompose and analyze files. Do you know any? What I mean is something that, given a file, would tell me for example: here is the magic number telling that it is a PNG, and here starts a colors definition, here goes the compression flag, and then there are the picture data, and so on......

After looking for a way to detect the filetype of a file stream, I found that the Unix file command uses libmagic and I'm trying to make use of the library myself, but I can't get it to work. I've rarely integrated 3rd party code in my own, so that's probably a big part of my problem as well. Why: I'm doing this because I have a portab...
On Mac OS X, how can I tell if a given application opens a specific type? I have two UTIs that I'm interested in: public.text and public.image and I have a list of applications. I want to filter the list by those two types so I have a list of text viewers and a list of image viewers. I've seen a related question on SO where it's possib...

Someone told me that some servers configure it that allow streaming of a file. OR Is it a file-encoding problem, not a server configuration problem? Given a link of the video file, how do I check if that person allows streaming (or play only once downloaded) ? Headers? ...
Is it possible to render a vector image file on the iPhone in the same way that one can render a bitmap (png, jpeg) file?

The console outputs a message along the lines of 'Could not load the "i...

How can I enforce the JFileChooser filetype (when saving). I have implemented a file filter (CSV filetype) but it does not in any way enforce the file extension on the user. I need the file chooser to append the file extension to the filename if the user has not done so. I am guessing that it would be possible to check fileChooser.getS...

The uploadify plugin for JQuery seems very good and works for most file types. However, it allows me to upload all file types apart from the ones I need. Uploads of any other type work. I have already tried changing the fileExt parameter and also tried removing it altogether. I have testing in Google Chrome, IE7 and Firefox and none ...

For some plugins that means that I get the PHP functionality for that plugin, but miss out on the HTML functionality. A more specific situation where this happens is with m...
