Very interesting Richard! Thanks. I'm finding many files, especially applications, come up empty for the creator and type using either of these methods. I imagine applications don't have a creator and type but I thought a zip file would. Maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks,

Anybody know how to determine these? In particular, I need the file type and creator for zip files.

In RevNet's Stack's section is a file named "4W File Typer" which lets you drop files onto it to view and change the type and creator code.

You can get to RevNet from inside Rev:  Develop->Plugins->GoRevNet


Here's the script which obtains the creator code info, using "the detailed files" in which each line returned as a number of comma- separated elements and item 11 is the combined creator and type:

on dragDrop
 get line 1 the dragData
 if it is not empty then
   put it into fld "file"
   put it into tDir
   set the itemdel to "/"
   put last item of it into tFileName
   delete last item of tDir
   put the directory into tSaveDir
   set the directory to tDir
   put the detailed files into tFiles
   set the directory to tSaveDir
put line lineoffset(urlEncode(tFileName), tFiles) of tFiles into tFileData
   set the itemdel to comma
   get item 11 of tFileData
   put char 1 to 4 of it into fld "creator"
   put char 5 to 8 of it into fld "type"
 end if
end dragDrop
