HJ-split and Google Chrome

[hiredgun]

It seems that google chrome browser wants to add associated file types to the HJfiles that you download, making HJ unable to open them. Changing the file name has no effect. Has anyone run into any problems that can help? Thanks

Do you get something like this?

facialmovie.avi.001.mpg

Perhaps try showing hidden file extensions which will allow you to remove the appended bit.

Have a look here for how to do it in Windows

For doing a lot of files at once, ronaldbr found a bulk renaming utility.

YEAH, This is a royal pain in the ass. I have been using Chrome since it was released and it has always been that way.

I have noticed that .001 files downloaded off rapidshare work fine, so methinks it may be vBulletin (forum software) related. I'll look into this and report back.

OK, I uploaded some hjsplit files to my personal website and chrome downloaded it fine (no triple extensions like movie.wmv.001.wmv). As I said, rapidshare downloads fine too, so I think it might be forum related. It means you have to browse to your download folder and rename 20 or 30 files before you can join them. A bit of a drag.

Any mods using chrome?

Ive been having this problem too for a good while now. I decided just now that it would have to be enough, and so went here to find a solution. To bad it theres nothing i can do myself.

I actually had this problem before, while using the Opera browser. Its frustrating as hell, but these days i can rename files in hyperspeed by sheer routine...

I think you will find that at the bottom of your download box you have "save as type" whatever extension you have selected. This will add an extension to the end of the HJ filename.

You need to select "all files" and you won't have the extra extension added.
