A File Package has the following structure:
MyFile.my-extention/
Contents/
PkgInfo
The PkgInfo is an 8 byte file that contains File Type/Creator Code. It
will make the folder appear as a file in the Finder. You can organize
your data as you want within MyFile/.
Without using Contents/PkgInfo, the Finder does not know it is a File
Package until you app (which should describe it as one of its documents)
is first launched, and it will show up as a folder until then. Also note
that in any case, the File Package icon will only be correct after the
app's first launch, being generic before that.

Hi all,
I am developing a convenience application that will make it easier
for
me to read my favorite mangas. I want to have a double-clickable file
that
will contain all the images in a certain volume and have it open in my
application.
I know that .rtfd files and .app applications are actually folders
containing other files, but how do I implement my own file. Would that
be a
bundle? The term in its non-programmatic sense would be correct...
I *could* just have the app make a folder with a .whatever extension and
copy files into it, then read them appropriately, but I am interested to
know the *best* way of doing it.
Any comments (or flames for posting such a stupid question...)?
