What isn¹t working for me yet is a lack of autonomy of the files
restored to
a Mac OS X. The files work just fine, if opened by a program that
uses the
file type, but the finder always opens them in a text editor.
Check out "the filetype" in the docs.
By default, Rev sets the filetype to "ttxtTEXT" which means that any
file saved will appear to be a text file.
You can set the file type to the required creator code & type, but now
that Apple no longer supports creator codes, it is much easier just to
set the filetype to empty and let the Finder use the file extension to
sort out which application to use for each file type.
Alex,
As Sarah mentioned, with Snow Leopard Apple has abandoned the creator
code and file type model, but if you're still using Leopard or have
users who are, this page might be useful:
