Hello again,
I wonder how Camino determines the file type and creator type when a file is downloaded. I'm using "Default Apps" Preferences Pane to set the MIME-Type-Mapping of Mac OS X. For instance I set "application/x-zip-compressed" to BOMArchiver, but when I download a zip (which has this mime type) it defaults to Stuffit Expander which is quite annoying.
I thought that some of my preferences are mixed up, so I use a different account on my machine which is more or less pristine. When I try to download that zip file with NB 2004102408 Camino simply crashes. I guess Camino tries to display the contents of the zip file.
The file is the current beta of graphic converter: http://www.graphicconverter.net/beta/gc53b1x.zip
Any ideas?
My Camino nightly 20/10 correctly downloads the file.
I'm pretty sure Camino disregards the mime-type and uses LaunchServices to open the file, i.e. the same happens as if you double clicked it in Finder.
To change the default, open Get Info on a zip file, change it's Open With: to the BOMArchiver and click Change All. Then it should work from Camino too.
File type and creator are HFS filesystem cruft that's unused in Mac OS X; it uses the LaunchService facility inherited from NeXT instead.
