When this helps
Use the inspector when an official asset name is unclear and you need to identify the likely operating system, processor and package before opening the download.
Local tool
Slicer filename inspector
Paste a release filename to decode the likely operating system, processor and package format. The check runs entirely in your browser.
Paste a filename
Use a full filename, including its extension, for the clearest result.
Method
It reads only explicit filename tokens and known extensions. It never opens or inspects the file itself.
Worked example
Example inputs
- Release filename
- CrealityPrint-7.3.0.6149-macx-arm64-Release.dmg
Calculated outputs
- Platform
- macOS
- Architecture
- ARM64
- Format
- DMG
How to read the result
The three labels describe the likely platform, architecture and package format. “Could not determine” means the publisher did not put enough information in the filename.
Common mistake
Keep the complete filename and final extension. Do not assume that a missing processor label means x64.
Assumptions and limits
Filename labels are hints, not compatibility guarantees. Confirm requirements on the official project page.
