Product Description:

FileType is an application to change the file types (type- and creator-codes) of files. You can save the file types you frequently use in a database so you don't have to remember them. It's very easy to use.

What's new in this version:

  • icons of files and file types are now displayed
  • supports drag & drop of files in the list of known file types in order to add the file type to the database
  • supports sorting of database entries using drag & drop
  • you can now select multiple files in the list - when clicking the "Change" button, file types of all selected files will be changed
  • added "Select All" menu item for use in file list box and in text fields
  • a copy of the database will be opened instead of the original - this is because the database will get corrupted if the app crashes
  • many small bug fixes, some small GUI changes
  • now natively supports Mac OS X
  • increased the memory size because the icon functionality requires a lot of it
  • the folder scan is now watching the available memory and will stop before it gets very low
  • added "Edit Database" menu item
  • increased version number to 1.0b, because this should be the last beta release and runs very stable

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.1
  • Mac OS X 10.0

Any ideas why FileType 1.0.1 would consistently crash on quitting? I'm running OS 10.4.7.

I downloaded the .sit file several times. Each time that I unstuff it with Stuffit Deluxe 7.0.3, the app file is a text file and opens in TextEdit.

Just what the doctor ordered. Does exactly what it says on the tin and does it very well. Easy to use interface.
