hi there!
following question:
if you have a file with a type and creator, the macosx finder will be able to open the file by those informations (it will very likely start a classic app).
if you have a file with a suffix, the macosx finder will be able to open the file by those informations ( it will very likely start an osx app.)
now the hard part:
if you have a file without type and creator and without a suffix, the macosx finder will be able to open the file with the program used last.
for example:
if you remove the suffix (in the terminal with mv) from a file generated under osx (PDF or RTF), wich does not contain a type and creator. the finder will still start an app, even though the icon for the file is generic.
i have removed and updated the desktop files for os9 and osx, and still the same! i have removed the preferences of the program, wich contains the information about files to be opend by a certain suffix.
happens under osx 10.1.1
strange
