Hello... again:
I'm a very recent newcomer to OS X. I hate it, but here I am.
I have often used get/set references to file types and creator types when
filtering, opening or otherwise 'handling' files and applications in
pre-OS X systems. Are there now clear alternatives to these methods in
OS X? Package id's? Bundle id's?
Is the Finder in OS X yet capable of 'sorting by name'? (I don't have
Jag yet... and still prefer to imagine it as a bad TV drama.)
Will AS shrivel on the vine as shell scripts, terminal commands, Perl and
such like come into wider use?
I have many more questions of marginal relevance, but I'll save them for
now.
Thank you for any replies... and thanks again for this forum. I wish I
could more often _offer_ help... rather than ask for it.
But there you are.
Peter B.
