Three little freeware utilities for whoever might need them: Ty-Pyst! No_Comment! Label....Er!
These three little programs allow you to retrieve certain file properties from existing Mac files, and transfer these properties to other files or groups of files by drag and drop.
Ty-Pyst! allows you to read the Mac Type and Creator codes off an existing file and then apply these codes to other files.
No_Comment! allows you to read the File Comment off an existing file, or to enter a new File Comment, and then apply it to other files.
Label....Er! allows you to read the Mac Label code off an existing file and then apply it to other files.
A generic illustration. Say I have downloaded a bunch of files off the internet that I wish to automatically open with program Wombat 4. The files as downloaded do not have the correct Mac Type and Creator codes for Wombat 4. Using Ty-Pyst! I would drop one existing Wombat 4 file onto the program window to read off the correct codes, then set it to write mode, and drop the downloaded files onto the program window. They would then be given the correct codes, which would allow me to open them by double clicking them.
