I've done a little bit of experimenting on that a couple of days ago,
after someone at Adobe asserted that 10.6 doesn't support creator
codes. There's certainly been some shuffling of priorities. Barring
explicit association, it seems to prefer the app defined for a given
extension and then the app defined for the type metadata. The creator
code is recognized, in my experiments, if both of those are absent but
not reliably respected. For example I created an empty file with the
creator code for Graphic Converter and no type or extension. When I
looked at the Get Info window it said it was going to open in
TextEdit, but when I popped up the menu it listed Graphic Converter
with an annotation that it was the default. It lied; TextEdit was
launched when I double-clicked. I consider that discrepancy a Finder
bug, even if the shuffled priorities are intentional.
