This is consistent. Though Apple appears to be slowly deprecating it, MacOS files have a creator and a type. Each is a four-byte string. The type of an application is "APPL", and this is the MacType property to which the code below refers.

Yes, I wound up doing this. My question, though, is if extension filtering doesn't work for ".app", how can I expect it to work for ".jpg", ".png" etc?

Frustrating for a relative newbie to try and figure out the consistency (or lack of) in programming this stuff.

If you change this to "APPL", you'll have the official Apple- designated Mac
