Processing can only open its own sketches and other files ending in .pde

[cquadrini56]

Hey Nick,  the "board detector" from your website won't load into my Arduino alpha gui.  I keep getting an error "Processing can only open its own sketches and other files ending in .pde"  I don't get why, because I am loading the INO file.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to load a sketch to my Arduino Alpha gui and I receive that message.  The file extension is .ino.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

My apologies for violating forum rules.

Do you happen to know about there error i am experiencing?

Which IDE version are you using?

[cquadrini56]

Sorry for the delay on this response, when I load the gui I see "0022" at the top above "Arduino Alpha"

Thanks.

You need a newer version of the IDE or you need to rename the sketch to have a dot-pde extension.  I believe the dot-ino extension was added in version 1.0.
