Using public namespace for UTI undefined #265

Closed MaddTheSane closed 9 years ago

MaddTheSane commented 9 years ago

According to Apple's documentation:

UTIs in the public domain are defined by Apple and are used to represent common formats.

I noticed that iFrotz's UTIs are in the public domain. Perhaps com.flippencorp could be used for the domain instead?

It's true that these are not standard Apple-defined UTIs. But using com.flippencorp wouldn't be right either, since Frotz doesn't define the file formats; they are open standards used by all interpreters. I used them because existing interpreters for the Mac (such as Zoom, Gargoyle, and Spatterlight) already use these UTIs in the "public." namespace to refer to various IF-related file formats. I used the same UTIs as they did for the same file formats.

So I won't be changing them against Apple objects.
