File Types

Several Max objects such as folder, umenu, and opendialog can refer to specific File Types. These can be either an explicit file extension beginning with a dot (.png, .wav, .mp3, etc.), or Macintosh four-character code. Even though they're called Macintosh codes, Max will recognize these on any platform.

Here's a list of those file types, together with a description and the standard extensions associated with each type.
