Not a silly question, and its one thats been addressed here before.
This is why I insist that SD Banks be encoded into SIT format with
DropStuff before trading online. Your answer lies in the group file
and photo sections:

"When a Mac file is copied to the PC, the resource fork, type and
creator information are lost unless the file is first encoded on the
Macintosh with DropStuff into SIT format which saves the Mac specific
data with the file. This way the file can exist on a single fork
machine (PC, UNIX) or be telecommunicated and decoded at the other end
with all Mac information intact." 

To fix your missing resource forks (solution provided by group member
ingsoc_1979) you will need to use FileTyper (in the Mac folder of the
file section). Put all your orphaned SD files in one folder on the
Mac. See the Sound Designer folder in the group Photos section for the
correct FileTyper repair setting, then click "Change All".

If you have trouble, message me off-list and I can probably help you
further.

Damn...and here I was hoping you came here wanting help with a film
