I've seen lots of documentation on how to SET creator-types in Mac OS X for new files that are being downloaded by Revolution, but I'm having trouble finding the command that will tell you the file/creator code of a pre-existing file on a Mac OS X hard-drive. Can anyone tell me what that command is?
For instance, if I've got a Rev app that uploads a series of jpg, gifs, psd, illustrator files, etc to a server, I'd like to preserve all those filetypes when they get downloaded again with Revolution. I'd like a means of automating this so I don't have a giant if-then statement of extensions and creator-codes.
As far as I know, there is no way to get finder information for a single file within Rev. You can use the detailed files to get this for the whole folder but it is really not optimal if one needs such an info for just a single file in a folder full of hundreds of images.
Also, if you are concerned about retaining file/creator codes, you could/should retain also other finder info like file labels. Unfortunately, there is no way to get/set them from within Revolution as far as I know.
Theoretically, you should be able to use Rinaldi's externals GetFInfo and SetFInfo. I say theoretically because GetFInfo causes a hard crash and both Frederic and RunRev folks blame the other (see bug 855). Furthermore, there are no OSX versions of those externals.
IMHO it would be reasonable to support platform-specific features like these through an external.
