As i was testing out a script i noticed something that seems odd. FMP
7 files, .fp7, don't seem to have a file type. I ran this script
tell application "Finder"
set x to choose file
set y to the file type of x
set z to the creator type of x
end tell
for a word file I got a file type "W8BN" but for a FileMaker Pro 7
database file i got missing value.
My question is since these files don't seem to have a file type is
there any way in a choose file dialog to restrict the selectable
files to just filemaker databases?
As an aside i thought that file types and creators are being phased
out of OS X--in favor of those stupid extensions. Shouldn't choose
file be updated too or am i missing something--other than my sanity?
thanks.
