[QUOTE="l.mu, post: 1722818, member: 380015"] Hello It does not work to open it with preview. I already tried to just name them XX.jpg but it didn't work;). I read in another thread that I can define the file type by doing the following steps: 1. Open up Terminal (/Applications/Utilities) 2. Type file, push space and them drag one of those unrecognized folders to the Terminal window. You should now see something that says "file /path/to/folder" (without the quotes of course). 3. Press enter. It then said: DOS executable (device driver) I am just working on a copy of the files, don't worry ;). [/QUOTE]
