I'm not sure whether this is now classed as legacy behaviour, but on
HFS+ at least, Finder looks at the "bundle bit" to determine whether
something is treated as a bundle or just an ordinary folder.
Are you sure the Finder consults the bundle bit? I would think that
it's Launch Services doing that.
Well I don't know, to be honest. I've always assumed it's Finder that
checks, but maybe it is LS.
Also, I don't think the bundle bit is 'legacy'.
I should explain what I meant a bit better. My point was more that the
bundle bit is HFS specific, so like the type and creator codes, while
it's good to set it, I'm not sure anything should be relying on it.
On the contrary, I
think people should be setting it when appropriate
Agreed.
Kind regards,
Alastair
