Hello everybody, I'm looking for some kind of exhaustive list which maps filename extensions onto creator and filetype for MacOS ...say files with extension ".pdf" could be mapped on to a default filetype "PDF " and default creator "CARO" (4-byte values).
I could get hold of these mappings using a freeware tool and a bit of reverse-engineering but I'd rather stick to a standard mapping if anything like that is available. Somebody had told me I could retrieve this info from a Sytem-file on my iMac but I was unable to open this file and view its contents. Would be grateful to anyone who knows something about this and can help me out.
Regards, Nandini Hengen
