.res is the uncompressed form of .bin file:).
You have to rename a file only if you get compress word(only in special case. Note- the compress word only comes sometimes) at the end of it for example the final file has the name:-
myresource.res.bin.compress, then make it myresource.res.bin

For example at the end the final name and size should be like this(refer image below):-

Thanks:)

It's fully wrong.

Don't care about .bin or .res, it's same, the two will be recognized as Resources when you will try install it.

Sorry if anything is wrong but I only shared what I know:)

So I will explain ^^.

.res is the uncompressed form of .bin file:).
No, .res can also be used for compressed form without any problem.
Only, with tool used to modify Resources, if you use .res for compressed form you will have :
- MyResources.res (compressed).
- MyResources.res.res (uncompressed).
And tool will not be able to decompile uncompressed Resources if you don't rename one of the two files. For example, if you rename like that :
- MyResources.res (compressed).
- MyResources_.res.res (uncompressed).
It will succeed decompile.

You can also name compressed Resources with .bin (MyResources.bin) to avoid rename file after uncompress.

You have to rename a file only if you get compress word(only in special case. Note- the compress word only comes sometimes) at the end of it for example the final file has the name:-
myresource.res.bin.compress, then make it myresource.res.bin

For example at the end the final name and size should be like this(refer image below):-

You can rename compiled Resources .res. Using your example, it will me myresource.res.

Personally, I only share .res for we can't be confused about what's file type it's.
Firmware: .fw.
Font: .ft.
Resources : .res.
