How does LS use MIME types? I mean, where can LS get a file's MIME type from? It isn't in an xattr is it? Also, note that LS _always_ prefers the extension. I had hoped to work around the conflicting extensions problem by assigning an HFS type, but it doesn't help. If you have 2 .foo files each with different (and known to LS) HFS types, it still reports one of the UTIs for .foo for both files. <rdar://5997350> On Thu, 22 Sep 2011 19:24:10 -0500, Charles Srstka said: >There are plenty of file types out there that can be identified by >examining the first few bytes of the file — it would not be very >difficult to augment the UTI system to take those into account when >determining the type of a file Yes, this would be nice, though obviously have a performance hit.
