Changing the filetype through the method of renaming
rarely works.
The only change that I can think of at the current moment that does work, is a .nfo to .txt change, and only because the information in a .nfo file is basic text.
I hope I am correct to assume that when you change the filetype through renaming, the actual contents of the file are still saved/read in the old format.
For example, if you changed a .bmp to a .png, the file would show in your browser as a .png file, but the contents would still be in .bmp, and whatever program you use you try to read it as a .png. This would cause conflict because the program would try to read it as a .png, but the actual data, wouldd still be compiled in a .mbp format.
Am I, in any way, correct about this?
