Long ago, in the 1990s, I remember there was some web page on Apple’s server that let you register a four-character type code, for either type or creator. I’ve been trying to find it lately. I sometimes found references that could be it, but following the link either went to the Apple Developer search page that Apple uses for resource-not-found errors or went to the UTI guide, neither of which help.
Is there a version of the page still around? I want to use a vanity creator code in my Info.plist, but I want to ensure uniqueness if the code is still used for matching. If the code is ignored nowadays, can I put a vanity value there, or do I have to keep it “????”? I noticed (due to work in another thread) that Safari has a creator code (“sfri”), and I think TextEdit reuses TeachText/SimpleText’s creator code (“ttxt”).
