‘yermassa’ is a word of the language of an old and wise culture
it means: yet another type setter to clog up your icon bar
it all started with the idea that it would be nice to have a list
of file types hanging off filer's 'File.Set type' menu. i think
filer+ does this, but it has more features i don't like than the
other way round. the idea would be simple to implement without
patching the filer module if the 'Set type' item generated the
'menu warning' message. unfortunately, it doesn't. so it (the idea)
ended as a quick BASIC wimp-app-hack (most of the routines i already
had - code reusability). because the menu-building is a little bit
slow (BASIC, names must be sorted) i intended to make it a module.
but then, starfighter 3000 came out and i just had the time to post
yermassa to hensa ...
how to use it

Keep 'Enter >' if €, the contents of the 'Enter' writeable are kept
Save options save options
¹ names are sorted alphabetically
icon bar icon
=============
displays the 'current type'
drag files here to set their type
drag the icon to a directory to type all its files
directories and images dragged to the icon or present in the
window the icon was dropped over are 'ignored'; this implies that
yermassa doesn't recurse to settype files down (up?) the dir tree
that's it
