List - File Type

This field displays the ProDOS file type. Types that don't have three-letter abbreviations assigned are shown in hexadecimal notation. Archived disk images are listed simply as "Disk".

Forked files are noted with a plus sign ('+') following the file type. Folders appear with a trailing slash ('/'), and will usually appear as "DIR/". However, it is possible (but not recommended!) for a folder to have a different file type.

Macintosh files stored in a ShrinkIt archive may be displayed with a 32-bit Mac file type instead.

File types from non-ProDOS disks are converted to the most appropriate type. The following conversions are used:

DOS 'T' TXT

DOS 'I' INT

DOS 'A' BAS

DOS 'B' BIN

DOS 'S' $F2

DOS 'R' REL

DOS 'A' #2 $F3

DOS 'B' #2 $F4

Pascal Untyped NON

Pascal Xdsk (bad blocks) BAD

Pascal Code PCD

Pascal Text PTX

Pascal Info $F3

Pascal Data PDA

Pascal Graf $F4

Pascal Foto FOT

Pascal SecurDir $F5

Files given "$Fn" types have formats that are not well defined.
