Course Files

[stillgolfing]

While cleaning up duplicate course files and libraries today I noticed there are 3 types of course files, .xcr, .xcr (read only) and .crs. What is the difference?
Thanks, Dave

.xcr is the compressed course file (includes splash screens, any bundled libs, course music, etc).

.crs is just the course file

Not sure what .xcr (read-only) is?

Definition of read only : Capable of being displayed, but not modified or deleted. All operating systems allow you to protect objects (disks, files, directories) with a read-only attribute that prevents other users from modifying the object.

I realize that Stan, but it's unlikely I did that (although after my clumsy camera catastrophe of the other day) who knows?I just assumed the designer had made them read only for some reason.
Thanks. Dave

I've run into that while deleting files. "This is a read-only file; are you sure you want to delete it?" Uh, yeh. I always thought that "read only" was so you wouldn't (or couldn't) accidentally write something onto it that would corrupt it.
