Neatest way to post a txt attachment here?
Edit: This has since evolved to include posting images too.
Hi all!
This is not a big concern, just curiosity.
I wanted to attach my menu.lst file contents to a post on this forum.
I opened it in gedit & copied it to my desktop where it sat looking like a text file (with no .suffix though...)
When I tried to attach it to my post, I got an error message about illegal file type, or something similar.
That was when I noticed it didn't have a .suffix.
I then pasted it into OpenOffice Writer & saved it as an .odt file.
When I tried to attach that, it exceeded the max size allowed for that file type.
Finally it dawned on me that I could save it as a .txt file from OOo so that was OK.
Is that the best way to get from gedit to an attachment for this forum, or is there a simpler way?
