Packages vs Folders
Date: 26.01.07 11:19 (Fri, 26 Jan 2007 10:19:56 +0000)
From: David Cox
Following the discussion on identifying invisible files, currently
Finder packages (e.g. Keynote, Pages & iMove documents) show up as
folders in their folderitem attributes. I cannot see any attribute
for 'package' in RB.

If I am presenting the user with a list of documents in a folderitem,
how can I determine if a 'folder' is actually a package?

Funny, I answered this question on the forums yesterday, complete
with code :)
