Sarah and Chipp,
Please! Don't set the filetype to empty. This can cause
unexpected results, such as files appearing at random locations
in Finder windows or even off-screen on the desktop, particularly
on older systems. Have mercy with the users of your software.
Instead, set the filetype to "????????".
Is the Mac so brittle that merely copying a file from any file
system that doesn't support Mac metadata will cause these anomalies?
I've seen the Finder be a tad flaky now and then, but nothing quite
as extreme as moving files to inaccessible locations by simply not
having a creator code assigned to them.
Can't say I've ever seen this with empty filetypes, but I tend to be
working with recent versions of the OS. Sounds more like an
installation-specific problem.
Certainly, copying files from FAT16 or FAT32 disks has never resulted
in files disappearing...
