Error: "Please drop a file with .jscad extension" #41

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

Steps to reproduce on OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with Firefox 32.0.2:

Navigate to https://joostn.github.io/OpenJsCad/processfile.html
Follow the instructions there, saving the textfile as test.jscad
After dragging the text.jscad from the Finder to the "Drop your .jscad file here" text, OpenJsCad throws the error, "Please drop a file with .jscad extension".

Expected behaviour:

Because the file has the appropriate extension, OpenJsCad should process it instead of throwing the error.

Try looking at your file in a terminal, I suspect its name looks like "text.jscad.txt". This can happen in Text edit e.g which is set to automatically append .txt. Your OS might hide the extension by default

D'oh! Normally I'd have "Show all filename extensions" checked in the Finder preferences, but this was on a different user account, where it was unchecked. My bad!
