System Events can change some metadata. After giving the appropriate
permissions, this works to set a file to open with TextEdit rather than BBedit.
tell application "System Events"
set default application of file "/Users/fletcher/Desktop/myfile.txt" to
file "Smog:System:Applications:TextEdit.app:"
end tell
Presumably this would work to set the Creator Type but it's harder for me to
test.
tell application "System Events"
set creator type of file "/Users/fletcher/Desktop/myfile.txt.txt" to
«class TBB6»
end tell
Hope this helps,
[fletcher]
