Well OSTypes are just a 4 characters string const, like 'JPEG'.
An file type right now for an HFSfile type(OSType) is encode like
@"'JPEG'",
note the single quotes this is important.

So I'm trying to use the nifty Foundation function

NSHFSTypeCodeFromFileType is supposed to turn NSStrings into OSTypes.
Cool.
However, I've tried passing several NSStrings into it, yet it always
returns
zero. The length of the strings are four characters and I've even
tried a
gimme like NSHFSTypeCodeFromFileType(@"JPEG") but I'm always getting
zero
back.
Is there any hidden trick here or am I just missing something
super-obvious?
I was hoping that this function would be a quick way to create some
OSTypes
for me to pass along to various Carbon functions rather than having to
write
an NSString->OSType function, which, granted, isn't hard, but is just
one
more thing I didn't want to write. Of course, I probably could have in
the
time it took to write this message. Hmmm...is it too early for a
cocktail?
Thanks,
Chris
