163175 - Migrate more-complete metadata from Mozilla for Mac OS 9 BNDL resource to Fizzilla Info.plist

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P3)

Description

[Greg K.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020814
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020814

The metadata included in the Mozilla builds for Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X are very
different. The two should be synchronized, making sure that everything that was
in Mozilla for Mac OS 9 is also in Mozilla for Mac OS X, and vice-versa.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Examine the BNDL resource of the classic Mac Mozilla application
2. Compare it to the Info.plist file included in Fizzilla builds.
Actual Results:  
The two are very different. Mozilla for Mac OS 9 defines 20 file types in its'
BNDL resource, while Fizzilla's Info.plist contains only 8.

Expected Results:  
The metadata of the two builds should be the same.

I will shortly attach a table comparing the two.

Comment 3

[Greg K.]

There's also the question of other platforms. Is there a master list of file
bundle metadata somewhere that applies to all platforms?

Comment 4

Attachment: Further revised table, now showing FREF IDs and guesses at some classic file types

Comment 5

[Jean-Pierre Melkonian]

note that COOK was used by ns4 for the cookie file

Also the icon mask for COOK is not correct in the BNDL resource

Comment 6

[Greg K.]

Jean-pierre, thanks for the COOK information. The mask problem should be filed
as a separate bug.

Note that since some weeks, Mozilla change the Type/Creator to TEXT/ttxt when it 
quits. I had set my type/creator to pref/MOZZ since a long time, and one day 
after a new build this changed. 

Comment 9

[Greg K.]

Jean-Pierre, that's a different problem than this bug. Please file a separate bug.

[Frankie]

Mozilla CFM build is dead; should this bug go with it?

Comment 11

[Greg K.]

Not really. The old metadata from MozillaMac builds needs to be transitioned to
the FizzillaMach builds.

Comment 12

[Greg K.]

I think this belongs on Build Config.

I'm not so sure this is valid. It looks like the OS 9 BNDL has tons of cruft.
CC'ing Marlon since he has an idea about which icon types we'll actually be using.

Comment 15

[J.J. Enser]

All the needed metadata has already been added to the Info.plist (see related
bug 178742). Marking fixed.

On a slightly different but related topic, we're missing the icon files
referenced in it (fileHtml.icns and fileBookmark.icns), and the list should
probably grow with image.icns, plugin.icns, pref.icns, sharedlib.icns,
binary.icns ...)

Marlon, since you did the ones for Netscape, do you want top volunteer for the
Mozilla ones too ?
Anybody else?

[Greg K.]

Simon Dorner, in bug 88393, has been developing an icon suite for Mozilla on Mac
OS X. He recently communicated with me that he plans to finish it shortly.

Comment 17

[J.J. Enser]

That's great. I see that bug 88393 is assigned to marlon whom I had in mind
anyway. I'll comment over there regarding the landing process that I'd like to see.
