Ian,
I wasn't referring to FAT16 and Fat32 and no, it definitely isn't an
installation-specific problem.
Best,
Mark

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...
Ian
