Telling Stripper which files to process
|
|
There are three ways in which to tell Stripper to process a file:
-
Drag and Drop from Finder to Stripper's application icon
One or more files can be passed to Stripper in this way. However, Mac OS X will only pass a file to Stripper if it meets one or more of the following conditions:
-
the file's extension is .TXT, .RTF, .RTFD or .HTML
-
the file's Mac OS "type" is TEXT or sEXT
-
Drag and Drop from Finder to Stripper's main window
One or more files can be passed to Stripper in this way. Stripper will only accept the files if all meet the same criteria as described above, or if additional extensions have been added to Stripper's list (discussed further below).
-
Via the Open command in Stripper's File menu
Multiple files can be processed in this manner. Stripper will accept any file regardless of its extension or Mac OS file type (it is assumed that the user knows what he or she is doing).

Files passed to Stripper are placed in a queue, along with a copy of the settings that were in effect at the time. In other words, changing the settings while files are being processed has no effect on files that Stripper already knows about.
As well as Mac OS X’s built-in text file types (.TXT and so on), Stripper can recognize additional file types as containing text during drag and drop. You can add a list of additional extensions using the defaults command in the terminal window. For example, the following command (all typed on one line) adds the extensions .c, .cpp, .h and .m to the list:
defaults write com.lgosys.Stripper
AdditionalTextFileExtensions
'("c", "cpp", "h", "m")'
