In Livecode you can use file extensions (like .txt) or apple 4-character
file type codes (like "TEXT") in a "type" or "types" filter of the
answer file command. As in:
answer file[s] prompt [with defaultPath] [with type types [or type types
...]] windowTitle] [as sheet]
Where a "types" is like "JPEG Images|jpg,jpeg|JPEG"
Is there any reason these days to bother with Apple 4-Character file
Type codes? I believe all recent version of OSX force file extensions
even if hidden by default. I also though that the 4-character type codes
had been deprecated by Apple long ago?
Opinions? Thoughts? Anyone bother with them these days? Anyone find them
actually necessary? If so why? What use case did you run into where they
were necessary?
