File import doesn't like files without extensions

[janra]

Well, I thought I'd import my 2003 NaNo into Scrivener to give the editing and organization features a shot, since actually writing a NaNo I find to not require much organization ;-)

Anyhow, being the linux geek that I am, all of my files were in plain text and had no extension. Who needs extensions anyway? They're purely informational...

So when I open the "Import Files..." dialog and make my way to my nano2003 directory, what do I see but a list of greyed out, inaccessible files.

I then tried dragging the file from the finder window into Scrivener, and dropping it in the binder. A little placeholder thing even showed up to show me where the file would end up, but when I dropped the file it said "The following file could not be imported".

Not that renaming them is a huge issue (actually, I'd just go to the scripts I usually use and import the html version of them) but I had thought that Scrivener could import just about anything :-)

Check out the "to do" list; you will see that this has been fixed for the next beta. I think it was Dunx who brought this to my attention ages ago, but I only just got around to fixing it last week.

Thanks,

Glad to hear it's been fixed. Looking forward to that one, especially since I've just started work on last year's nano again, which is the one with all the extension-free notes files attached to it.

I've checked other bug reports on the to-do list, and naturally when I forget to look it's already there.

Good to hear it's fixed :-)
