Darwin-dev mailing list (Darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/darwin-dev/site_archiver%40lists.app… Why? Our modern OS uses filename suffixes to determine content types, not antiquated things like filesystem metadata. It isn't necessary to draw *quite* such a distinction between the two. You could regard the file extension *as* filesystem metadata, albeit metadata that is under many circumstances directly visible to the end user. Indeed, in the 8+3 system used by DOS and its CP/M predecessors, the fact is that the three character extension was a separate *field* in the directory structure; the name of "FOO.DOC" was not really stored as "FOO.DOC" at all, but rather "FOO DOC". The decision as to whether the extension is part of the name or not is purely a logical matter. (To be clear, I do broadly agree with your implication---that it would be nicer to store this kind of data *separately* as metadata of some sort---and I'd like to think that there is an intention to move towards a UTI-in-attribute approach for types and a bundle-ID-in- attribute approach for creators, though it's quite important IMHO that there is both reliable round-trip support and some degree of cross- platform compatibility before that will work. For instance, a Word document must not change from being a Word document merely because it is being viewed on e.g. a Windows machine rather than a Mac, or vice- versa, and it also must not require the end user to take special per- file steps to ensure compatibility.)

If you created an empty file "foobar.jpg" it would be interpreted as an JPEG file and open with Preview. (All sarcasm aside, there is an "is alias" bit in HFS, but I think the Alias Manager isn't relying on it because it can be lost if transferring files across foreign filesystems. Aliases don't have their own HFS filetype code because they need to use the filetype and creator of the original file.) This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com
