My wife and I have been using an old drawing program, Intaglio. My wife, especially, has created a large number of drawings, saved as a .intaglio file. The program is no longer supported so we have realized we will need to move on. So in my case, I exported all my .intaglio drawings as .svg files so that other programs have a chance at opening them, and in some cases I had exported some of hers the same way. So today I started to tackle the rest of hers. I find one of her .intaglio files, open it in Intaglio, and then export it back to the same location as a .svg file. That had been working well for many. But then I ran across some that after exporting become a folder rather than a file and I can't discover why. I have stared at information windows (command I) on ones that work correctly and ones that don't to compare and can't spot a difference. I have done the same for the folders which they reside in and again, can't spot a difference. And it isn't some setting that got changed while I worked. If I skip the troublesome files and move on, I come across others that export just perfectly.
Where do I look to learn how a file can become a folder? (Incidentally, the resulting folder contains the file I expected as well as a pdf with an odd numerical file name. I guess I should look at one of those...)
