Hello! I'm trying to back up my computer, and am trying to think of files I may have forgotten, so I thought I'd turn it into a game!
How many file formats can you name? :lol:
(JPEG, CR2, MOV, etc).
GO!:D


I wonder if the video editors on The Titanic ever went, "Sorry, I can't right now. I'm busy synching the Titanic..."

docx,xlsx,pptx,doc,xls​,xlsm,ppt -> MS Office
pdf,ps,dvi -> print ready documents
tex -> typesetting environment
jpg,jpeg,bmp,png,gif,t​iff -> image formats
psd,psb -> photoshop
ai -> adobe illustrator (think that's the extension)
wav,wma,mp4,mp3,ogg,fl​v,aac -> audio and video
zip,gz,rar -> compresison (also tar.gz -> gzipped tarball)
exe,msi -> installers
txt,rtf,html,php,css,a​spx -> plain text files - for text or web usage
iso -> disc image file
f,f90,java,c,cpp,h,cs -> programming related

I guess I could find some more if I really wanted - from files on my home computer and my uni computer, including some exotic ones, such as fluent files :). But that's all I can think of right now.

I think GIMP's files are .XCR, right?

I'm not sure, I don't use GIMP.

Another one: .cab -> cabinet files, a type of archive.
