OTX Filename Extension & macOS FileType & Creator codes
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2021 5:03 am
I made some macOS .icns (icon set) replacement files for the app icon and document icon
Edited the OTX app info.plist to apply the change
Add these in the file menus, and changed some save dialog boxes (removed branding)
And then there is a section of the home.livecodescript part that inserts file types into Windows registry, which I have't tested that yet.
The mac side seems to be working OK, might be a good idea to rebuild launch services. I went with the old STAK (HC) mac 4char fileType Code, since nothing on modern macOS should be using that.
And for 4char creatorCode I used OXTk (maybe I should've used HC's WILD?)
For filename extensions I used:

For filename extensions I used:
- .stk (as an equivalent to .rev)
- .otxstack (as equivalent to .livecode)
- .otxscript (as equivalent to .livecodescript)
