newbie: OS X and answer file ?

Tom is totally right here :-)

The syntax is correct, but some jpgs are dimmed and some are not.

answer file "sdsdsdd" with filter "*.jpg"

does not work at all on OS X (not that that would have surprised me ;-)

answer file "sddsd" of type "JPEG"

really shows some files and others not...

Can anybody shed some light on this, please?


But looks like:

answer file "sdsdsdd" with filter "GIFf"

for gif-files works as exspected.

!!! Please note the correct spelling:
capital G, I, F but a small f at the end!!!

P.S.
I also tried: ... of type "JFIF", no chance...
