FXDeko always saves the file in the active window. An asterisk (*) next to a file
name on a window’s title bar indicates that the file has been modified since it was
last saved.
FXDeko automatically attaches the standard extension to the file name. For
example, a macro file named myfile is saved as myfile.mcr.
Standard extensions in FXDeko include:
.dko (Deko Graphic) .mcr (Macro)
.pst (Preset Styles) .seq (Sequence)
.shd (Preset Shader) .fac (Custom Typeface)
.sty (Style) .mot (Motion)
