Scratch

I realize this may be an annoyance, but it could be important. In Microsoft Small Basic, a simplified version of Visual Basic, the extension is also .sb. You could allow support for .sb, just make it not the default.

RedRocker227 · 2012-02-24 11:43:23

What do you suggest it be changed to?

rdococ · 2012-02-24 11:51:34

I think it should be the old .scratch file-type-name again, that was a unique, even if long, filetype.

If someone's been on Small Basic and then goes on Scratch, they may be confused and think a Small Basic project is a Scratch project.

ssss · 2012-02-24 15:23:37

I think they changed it to .sb2 in the pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha. hmm

Yeah, I wonder what was wrong with .SCRATCH. hmm

ProgramCAT · 2012-02-25 14:18:41

I agree.

trinary · 2012-02-26 21:29:58

I agree, they should change it back to .scratch ...

analytic · 2012-02-27 23:30:59

I agree - .sb doesn't really associate itself with Scratch...

veggieman001 · 2012-02-27 23:42:15

.sb2 is what it was in ye olde prealpha

lallaway12 · 2012-02-28 03:14:27

how about a difrent one for diffrent

chat.cs
os.os
story.ss
game.gs
hi.hs
test.ts
info.is
sota a 3ds thing.3s
mario.ms
anything else.as

so you can pick from all of these so it would help to keep neet

too long
Maybe .sp? (scratch project)

technoboy10 · 2012-02-28 08:27:03

I think that .scr would work better. Support!

slinger · 2012-02-28 08:32:56

I think .sb is fine, although a .scr would make more sense, totally technoboy10's idea.

That's even more commonly used

joefarebrother · 2012-02-28 11:40:20

what about .sproj (Scratch PROJect)

edit: not proj because that is used as in Quincy, a C++ editor.

Better than .scr.

I agree with some of those, but Mario and 3DS seem a bit specific.

.SB stands for Signed Byte, I believe. tongue

How about .scr2? (Scratch 2.0)

I already said it stands for Scratch Blocks.

A Google search says it stands for Signed Byte Audio File, but that's probably another usage. tongue

Didn't I cover that it might be long?

schusteralex2 · 2012-02-29 11:58:35

maybe .sbc (scratch block code)??

mattlai2 · 2012-02-29 12:28:05

.sp has been used for SignPlot Traffic Sign and .sbc has been used for Office Accounting Company Shortcut (opened by Microsoft Office Accounting). tongue
