True, but that's not something a well-behaved Mac app should do anyway (and your second possibility is apparently relying on a bug in RB).
I can take a JPEG file and rename it to end in ".xml" far more easily than I can change the actual MacType, but that doesn't make it an XML file.
Yes and this is just what you can do with files that is created by Apple own applications. Example: TextEdit do NOT add an MacType to the .html or .xml files. The only way to handle this is the extension, soon we have no files on our Macs that have an MacType. Files that you grab from the Web have NO MacType, files from your digital camera have NO MacType
So here you only change the extension to jpg .. and then you have an none valid file, that NOT would be displayed in the OpenDialog box as MacType TEXT because there is no MacType.
