After walking a volumes directory and extracting as much info as
possible about each file/folder, I find many files have no type and
creator info. Bundles or packages report a folder type & creator
(rightly so as it is a folder - but still not correct). I'm using
this info to extract the true files icon.
I have two questions. How do I ensure I get the proper T&C for every
file (including bundles)? Since T&C info is Mac old-school is there a
new and improved way to determine the proper icon for a file? I'm
also finding some applications are not showing 'APPL' as a type but
'adrp'. What's up with that? The Finder can do this - how are mere
mortals supposed to do this?
Since Apple in OSX wants to play these games with files and folders
to obfuscate the real identify them, it should properly report this
info. This type of thing never happened in the Mac classic
environment where two separate files were displayed as one and all
toolbox calls worked properly. Is this an Apple thing or is RS to
blame for not doing it right? Or both?
