------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 14 07:40:24 -0800 2006 ------- Creator codes are used in a couple of ways, the two most important being... Indicating which application is responsible for a particular file. Assigning a creator code to a document allows the correct application to open it even if the document does not have an extension. This is more "Mac-like", since file extensions mean virtually nothing to a Mac user. The second item is .Mac syncing, which requires unique creator codes. So, if we want to provide .Mac syncing of OOo prefs for the Aqua version, we'll need the creator code for OOOn. Another feature that creator codes enable is the ability to use the Finder to search for, e.g., *.html files that were created with Writer. There are other examples, but these are the most obvious. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
