402393 - Camino sets Creator Code on downloaded archives to StuffIT

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 236389

(Camino Graveyard :: Downloading, defect)

Description

[Robert B.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; de; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071010 Camino/1.5.2 (MultiLang)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; de; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071010 Camino/1.5.2 (MultiLang)

When downloading archive files like .zip or .tar.bz2 Camino sets the Creator Code of the archive to StuffIT (you can proove this with `GetFile $DownloadedFile` which should give you "Creator: SITx"). But since the Finder extracts such files also by itself, Caminos behaviour is a bit annoying.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Download a .zip or tar.gz, tar.bz2, … and see how the files icon changes if the download has finished.


Expected Results:  
Since HTTP does not transfer MacOS Creator Codes a downloaded file should not have set any Code.

This is because StuffIt has told InternetConfig that it should be the creator for any such archives.  You can fix this by using an application like MisFox (http://mac.clauss-net.de/misfox/) to unset those associations, and Camino will honor those changes next time you launch it.

On the other hand, the trunk will no longer set creator codes.
