Suggestion: Music & sound filenames

[strazer]

Would it be possible to let AGS check not only for music1.mid but also for music001.mid and so forth?
I'd like to name my files this way so the directory doesn't look like

music1.mid
music11.mid
music2.mid
sound1.ogg
sound11.ogg
sound2.ogg

Another suggestion: I suspect many beginners have the default Windows option "Hide file extensions for known file types" enabled.
When we tell them to name their files music1.mid, I imagine they rename it to music01.mid.mid actually and it won't play.
Could AGS compensate for that, i.e. check for .mid.mid etc. as well?

Thanks

This option should be switched off anyway, because it is often abused by "unwanted" software. In my opinion it would be better to inform beginners to switch off this option for security reasons than to compensate it.

I think the first part (001 etc.) is a good idea, but I agree with a-v-o about the second. That part of Windows' default behaviour is absolutely horrible and serves no purpose, and everything should be done to encourage people to disable it.

Sounds reasonable to me. Incidentally, Windows XP explorer has finally fixed this issue and does correctly sort files like you mentioned.

As for the second issue - can we assume that people who are computer-savvy enough to make their own adventure game, are aware of this feature? I see your point, though I don't remember anybody having a problem like this.

Heh well that hide extension option is horrible feature of windows, so I always turn it off, but recently I have to do some batch renaming stuffs for files (need to be typed in, those batch renamers won't always help), in this case I found setting that feature on temporially helps sometimes.

Would it be reasonable to include room.crm files in this as well?

Possibly - although since room files can be accessed easily from the ordered Room Editor list, there's less need for it I think.
