.bak Files On Mac

[tc_leeds]

When using the .bak feature in Preferences in Windows, to open the .bak file simply needs the "Open With" to be set to PTE AV Studio from the WnSoft folder in the Program Files folder. On a Mac this does not appear to work and in order to open the file the .bak extension has to be deleted.  The pop up message then reports that there is a file already in existence using the same name and requires the file name to be modified. Is this how it should be by virtue of the Mac operating system? Does anyone use this feature?

Hi Tony,

I recommend to rename .bak file to .pte file extension in Finder and then open in PTE AV Studio. It's the only one solution on a Mac.

Hi Igor,

Sorry for the delay in responding but I have been working on a number of tutorials. Thank you for confirming that renaming with the .pte extension is the correct and only way to do this on the Mac. Your help is always appreciated.
