       Author: Francis Bogsanyi (fbogsany@interact.net.au)
      Release: 0.5 (10 May 1998)
               (Mother's day release; also my sister's birthday 8-)).
Compatibility: R3 Intel x86
     Location: contrib/util
  Description: Changes the mime type of files dropped on window
        Notes: I needed this in a hurry to fix the mime type of
               a couple of dozen files downloaded using N+ and
               ftp.  It is a blatant ripoff of Scott W. Ahten's
               FileTyper for PR2.  I could've used the source
               from FileTyper, but stupidly didn't check if it
               was available :(.
               Scot Hacker has had problems with the stickiness
               of the menus.  They work fine for me, so if
               anyone else has problems, please let me know.
    Operation: - Primary mouse button click pops up a menu of
                 available mime types to choose from.  The top
                 two items display the about box and refresh
                 the menu.  The remainder show the mime types
                 arranged in heirarchical menus.  The menu is
                 sticky.
               - Secondary mouse button click pops up a menu
                 where you can store your frequently used
                 mime types.  The menu is persistent (thanks
                 to Marco Nelissen's PrefServer).  Selecting
                 the first menu item adds the current type to
                 the list (provided it isn't currently present);
                 selecting the second item removes the current
                 type from the menu.  
               - View shows current mime type.  Drag files onto
                 the view to set their mime type.
               - View is a Replicant.  I have it attached to my
                 desktop for easy access.
               - Menu is sticky (primary mb click-&-release
                 keeps menu up).
      Caveats: - I've set the default type to application/x-zip
                 since that's the type I usually need.
               - The window gets resized when a new type is
                 chosen.
               - PrefServer needs to be installed for the
                 preferences menu to work.
               - For preferences to be global, you need to select
                 either the "files in a directory" or
                 "attributes of a single file" method for
                 permanent storage in PrefServer.
   What's new? - 0.5: added filter from pavel@be.com to eliminate
                      pesky application/x-MacOS-* types for the
                      (not yet existent) BeOS-PPC port;
                      added filter from pavel@be.com to eliminate
                      application signatures;
                      fixed bug with supertypes without subtypes.
               - 0.4: added a persistent preferred mimetypes menu.
               - 0.3: moved about window and menu refresh to
                      menu (instead of attaching them to mouse
                      buttons);
                      made menu heirarchical;
                      made menu sticky.
               - 0.2: made view a replicant;
                      added about window on tertiary mb click;
                      added menu refresh on secondary mb click.
      Credits: Scot Hacker suggested the heirarchical & sticky
               menus & the menu of frequently used mime types.
               Marco Nelissen provided the PrefServer.
               Pavel Cisler provided the filter code for
               irrelevant mime types.
