Setting file type in OS X


  • Subject: Setting file type in OS X
  • From: "Gregory Anderson" <email@hidden>

I've got an old script written for OS 9 that sets the file type of a
file I write out to 'ttro'. When I run the script in OS X, it complains
that it can't set <<class fitp>> of the file to 'ttro'. Looking at it in
the Script Editor, it looks like the Finder's definition of the file type
property has changed.
Anyone know if this was a conscious decision in X, or an AppleScript
bug?

Thanks.

Greg
