ok, [auto-props] is working handily, thanks. I reviewed the subversion
"book" and this feature is not yet documented there. Acutally in my
readme.txt it's not called out either. Where is a list of such features
to be found?
I now have a follow-up question. Under Mac OS X, there's no mime type
of a file to set up based on svn:mime-type when the file is downloaded,
as far as I can tell. What *does* happen is that the file's type and
creator codes are set up based on the files extension when a file is
downloaded. Is there a way that I can associate mime types with type
and creator codes to set on the file? On the mac, apps don't always
give a filename extensions. For that matter, I don't even know what
mime type i'd use for some of my apps, but that's a different problem
that I can solve by cheating flagrantly and inventing my own types.
thanks,
hamilton
