DP7 unretrievable/unloadable files

Post by miket »

I've encountered this really annoying issue. For several reasons, first of all compatibility between OSX and Win7, I saved several DP7 files on a FAT32 formatted HD.
Today I attempted to open them but, under OSX 10.6.8. they are shown as UNIX executable files with a generic black icon. DP7 is unable to open them.

What can be done to retrieve all these files back?

Please help
thanks

Download Type and Creator Changer:

Set the file type to PERF

Set the creator to MOUP

DP7 on the Mac will now recognize the file.
