Does anyone know of a a resource on the web (or elsewhere) that provides a list of the different four-character creator type codes for documents created by different applications? (i.e., Photoshop jpeg documents are "8MIB", Microsoft Word documents are "MSWD"... I'm tired of having to figure out each code I want when I'm working on a script, and if someone out there has already gone to the trouble of compiling a list, it would help me a lot to be able to reference it.)

AFAIK Apple is tight lipped about stuff like that... from Apple's Creator Code Registration Page ( http://developer.apple.com/dev/cftype/ )

Q: Will Apple give developers a list of creator codes that have already been registered?

A: Unfortunately, no. We don't make the information in the creator registration database available. You should be aware,
however, that you can use the online search form to search the database to see if a creator code has already been registered.

We do know of a site outside of Apple Computer that has been assembling such a list. You can browse Ilan Szekely's site at http://tcdb.tripod.com/

hope that helps
