is it possible to get nSpire working with different extensions so you won't have to change the every time?
Ihave not understood the request ???
Ndless supports extensions through its cfg file, if that is what you meant
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

I know that, but it's irritating me when transferring files it must always be .tns would be nice if nSpire accepts every extension.

or is this only a restriction of the transfer software?

It would indeed be nice if the Nspire exposed standard Mass Storage Device USB class (like the Prizm does) and accepted every extension, but unfortunately, it does not...

Most likely a protection TI added. With the PRIZM you can go as far as using the calculator as mass storage device and run portable computer softwares from it. The funny thing is that some computer image files even show up with an image icon, even though they cannot be opened.

I think they added icons for all the file types that the Prizm can either open or save. For instance, bmp files can be saved (when taking screenshots) but not opened on-calc.

Transfer software restriction, deeply coded in the navnet driver.

I don't think it's that big of a deal, personally. At least they didn't set it up to check every file to make sure it's valid.
