Sorry to disturb again...
When I asked to filter out just .xml files, you told me that is not
Mac.
And nearly all agree, and said I am wrong, that is not Mac.
Once again, was it wrong because RB not have the feature to filter
out just .xml?
No, it's wrong because a file with no extension that has a MacType of
whatever the XML standard MacType is, won't be able to be opened by
your program.
MacType is a valid metadata information that should always be used,
in addition to extensions. By supporting it, you're not limiting your
ability to open .xml files, but enhancing your ability to work on the
Mac when a user deletes the extension. Sure, they may not do it often
or at all, but is it really that hard to type in the MacType desired
so that it *does* work if it ever happens?
