#36 generated HTML files should have Safari creator for Mac OS X

From <
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/frontierkernel/message/1090
>.
For: odbs (Frontier.root, mainResponder.root)

Also, another more general issue is the annoyance that
frontier html files are created with an ancient
netscape creator rather than safari (or just as a flat
file without creator which is more 'modern').

Seems like a reasonable request.

FYI. "system.verbs.builtins.webBrowser.supportedBrowsers" had Safari
(creator code = 'sfri') added 1/10/03; 5:49:15 PM by JES.

References to Netscape (creator code = 'MOSS') are in :

Frontier.root :

system.verbs.apps.FinderMenu.cards.data.creatorString
system.verbs.apps.Netscape.appInfo.id
system.verbs.apps.Netscape.goBack
system.verbs.apps.Netscape.goForward
system.verbs.apps.Netscape.goHome
system.verbs.apps.Netscape.id
system.verbs.apps.Netscape.reload
system.verbs.apps.Netscape.utilities.viewGlossary
system.verbs.builtins.html.init
system.verbs.builtins.html.utilities.backup
system.verbs.builtins.userland.htmlprefs.imgFileCreator
system.verbs.builtins.userland.htmlprefs.textFileCreator
system.verbs.builtins.userland.readmeSite.["#filters"].finalfilter
system.verbs.builtins.webBrowser.launch
system.verbs.builtins.webBrowser.supportedBrowsers

I don't know if this is also relevant, but :

"Common/IowaRuntime/Source/iowascript.c" has a bunch of stuff that is
hard-coded to Netscape.

I think this is probably only a Mac issue. The few code
instances that I've seen usually have the file written out
and then if this is a Mac, set type and creator.

There are probably several ways to approach the problem.

One might be to come up with script that would set the type
based on several parameters. For example on Mac OS X it
might say Safari is the default creator for html files,
unless overridden by a user pref.

Another method might be to not set the creator. IIRC the
last several versions of Mac OS have had systems for dealing
with dot 3 and dot 4 files with no creator type set. For
example if I save a file out of TextEdit on Mac OS X with an
extension of .html, it shows up in the Finder with a Mozilla
icon because that is what I have set in my prefs.

The later approach would save some coding and recoding down
the road. Let the user control things in their OS.

Thoughs?
