Change .HR1 Extension Worked

[bendurso]

I'm starting to use the expansion system. The idea is that the user can install the expansion with the .hr1 file.

I thought about changing the "hr1" extension to other letters related to my plugin (just to make it a bit more fancy), and surprisingly I was able to install the modified expansion fine.

Will this work well with any system?

No reason why it shouldn't, the data is the same you just changed the label.

I use .lwz for my zip files to fool Safari browser and HISE is still able to extract them like a any other zip.

@bendurso i've seen a line in the source code about changing the extension, but that looked way too sketchy. how did you change it?

[d.healey]

@clevername27 I think the one you're referring to is for changing the .ch extension of monoliths.

[bendurso]

@clevername27 @d-healey Oh yes, I was referring to the .hr1 file that unpacks the ch files and everything related to the expansion.

To change .hr1, I simply changed the letters; then to install the expansion I changed the String Wilcard of FileSystem.browse() to the new one
