I do machine embroidery and up to now have been able to download digitalized designs from the internet onto my Mac (OSX-Panther). While I cannot read these files on my Mac, I keep them stored/indexed on my Mac. If the designs are sent as zipped files, there is no problem. However, several websites do not forward their files this way. The designs are typically downloaded with a digitalized embroidery extension indicating the format of the respective embroidery machine to be used, e.g. Brother uses .pes, Bernina uses .ART, Janome uses .SEW, etc. Now to my problem: When downloading from these sites, the embroidery files appear on my desk top as .exe or .php or sometimes even a QuickTime file. In some instances I can avoid this problem by using the Opt/Z key combination when clicking the download button on the embroidery site. When this trick fails, is there a way can I download the file without corrupting the file/extension?
