Hi Steve,

There shouldn't be any difference. .htm files are just text but all
the other file types you mention are binary files and should download
fine so long as you remember to save them as binfiles, not just as
files.

I see you are on a Mac, so before saving, set the fileType to empty.
That causes the Finder to work out what sort of file it is based on
the extension.

When you say it only partially works, but are the problems you
encounter? You do know that Rev won't be able to open those file
types?

Cheers,
Sarah
