Hi,

REALbasic 2006 Release 4
Mac OS X 10.4.8


When will we get an acces to the "Uniform Type Identifiers" properties (I 
expect to see these in the FolderItem Class Properties list) ?


Cheers,

Emile


If you do not know what is/are "Uniform Type Identifier"(s), read the excellent 
ars technica article by John Siracusa here: 
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10.4.ars/11

The article introduction is at 
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10.4.ars/11 (and is accessible from 
the each pages, thus from page 11).

You can also learn a bit about them using AppleScript:

tell application "Finder"
    return properties of item 1 of front window
end tell

and search the kind and type identifier of the returned properties; for 
example, read below:

.../... other previous properties from the list: skipped!
kind:"com.apple.appleworks.document",
file type:"CWSS",
file creator:"BOBO",
type identifier:"com.apple.appleworks.cwk",
locked:false,
busy status:false,
short version:"",
long version:""}
Note: the above file is an AppleWorks SpreadSheet file under Mac OS X.


Another place to read informations about the "Uniform Type Identifiers" is the 
"BPRuntimeConfig.pdf" PDF file (444KB); I get mine from the "Sept06DevDocPDF" 
file. Check the Apple developer web site.
