Hi Martin,

I am not very current, still being on Windows 7 (but, up-to-date), and I only have a few music/notation apps, but I would guess you have an app that does/has appropriate/d the .not extension for its own purposes. This does not happen on my PCs.

The site, "http://file.org/extension/php" says:

What is a PHP file?

PHP is a scripting language that is often used to develop a variety of web pages and Internet applications. Files that have the .php extension can contain text, HTML tags and scripts. These files are processed by a remote server and are then returned to the user's Web browser as plain HTML....

So, perhaps you may have an app that works with files with php extensions.

Hi guys,

If you're trying to use the right-click "Save as" or "Save file" option for your browser that probably explains the php file extension. The scripts that run the forum software are php. All you need to do is left-click the attachments and the php script will run to give you the same effect as a right-click-select-what-to-do maneuver.

ttfn,
Sherry

Thanks Sherry. I thought left clicking would solve it but right or left clicking a .not attachment still produces the php. I have no other problem with .not file associations on my pc.

Hi,

For quite some time now, I am getting the .php extension instead a .not extension, on downloading a .not attachment. This is so in W7 and W10.

Thanks for that Herbert. I've tried altering one or two script settings but nothing worked. Its easy to alter a file extension... but it shouldn't be necessary!!

Hi guys,

Hmmm.... this has got to be a setting in the browser or some extension/add on somewhere because I (and many others ) only get a .php tailed filename if we try to use the right-click tell-it-what-to-do method, which saves the "script" (which does fetch the file, but names the file a script).

What browser(s) are you guys using? Do you have any extensions/addons for downloading on them? (eg. a special download manager or such?)

ttfn,
Sherry

I use Internet Explorer 11. I have reset all advanced settings to default and still cannot get .not file to open or save except as a php file . I then need to change the extension to .not by hand. Martin.
