Well, please keep using those old file type/creator on older macOS versions.
In newer ones, the support is broken/removed.

Well, we have them with FileListMBS to read.
But I don't think we have a function to write them, sorry.
Wait, you can use ExtendedAttributesMBS module to read the Finder attributes.
The com.apple.FinderInfo one should be 16 byte long and contain the type and
creator on the beginning:
struct FileInfo {
OSType fileType; /* The type of the file */
OSType fileCreator; /* The file's creator */
UInt16 finderFlags; /* ex: kHasBundle,
kIsInvisible... */
Point location; /* File's location in the folder
*/
/* If set to {0, 0}, the Finder
will place the item automatically */
UInt16 reservedField; /* (set to 0) */
};
So read the attribute, fill in the value and write it.
Best regards,
Christian
