Sven,

As I read your reply I noticed that you are setting macType and MacCreator after closing the file. I have gone back through a number of my programs where I create both text and binarystream files and I see where I place these statements between the point of obtaining the folderitem and opening the file and it works in all of those programs.

Is there truly a preferred point in the file creation point to place these statements? It seemed to me that you would want that information in the folderitem before the file was created; but, I guess, like f.name, it can occur after the file has been created.

Just curious.
