Getting a list of applications that can open a file has been part of
other operating systems and is not purely a Mac functionality (at least
NeXTStep from 1990s and Windows XP have similar functionality). Maybe
"File Type" is purely a Mac thing, because you are translating "File
Type" to mean specifically a type/creator thing.
But, Finder's "Open With:" info pane works on a file created with
"touch bob.jpg" in a terminal window, so I'm thinking it is not
dependent on any Mac specific type thing. So, I don't see any
implication in bhanson's post that suggested purely Mac only
functionality.
