- A question for Finder folks:
-
- How does the Finder know if a file is a "System Extension"? For example,
- when double-clicking on an Adobe printer font description, the Finder
- reports that's it's a system extension. How does it know this? I checked
- for an INIT resource or a bit that's set in the Finder flags but couldn't
- find anything relevant. Can anyone clue me in on this?
-
- Thanks.
