This is the legacy 4D documentation web site. Documentations are progressively being moved to developer.4d.com

4D v20 R7

_o_MAP FILE TYPES


_o_MAP FILE TYPES ( macOS ; windows ; context )

Parameter	Type	Description
macOS	String	Mac OS file type (4-character string)
windows	String	Windows file extension
context	String	String displayed in List of Types drop-down list of the Windows file dialog boxes

Compatibility Note

Starting with 4D v16 R6, this command is deprecated and should no longer be used.

The use of Mac OS file types has been obsolete for many versions of macOS. Like Windows, file identification is based on name extensions. You can use Object to path and Path to object commands to handle file extensions. You can also use UTIs along with Info.plist declarations to handle file types.
