[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1722836"] It's not surprising that the files are marked as "Unix executables" like that. I think when Finder can't classify a file, it defaults to "Unix executable" for file type. The mangled move destroyed the .jpg part of the name, and he's tried just putting it back with no success. If he did the "Open with.." move I suggested and they won't open, then they aren't image files. The links all talked about whether or not they were executable, not whether or not they were images. But he can certainly try the solutions recommended. Who knows, it might unscramble the files enough to recover them... [/QUOTE]
