Sorry Matt.. it's broken. And it's not just BBEdit, Nisus & Adobe,
it's every app that makes use of creator codes. It's a major problem
for any app dealing with generic types like .txt, .rtf, .html, .png,
.jpg or anything where the app the creates it is not the default app
to open the given filetype. Snow Leopard appears to ignore the creator
code and launch the default app, making creator codes useless.
And Apple has been moving away from creator/type codes for years.
Sadly, they've never offered a good alternate solution to the problem.
They just pulled a basic behavior out from under the user.
