Typist

I needed something to ease the crushing drudgery of changing a file's type and creator. Here's what I made:

		What's to like? Convenience!
		Drag a batch of files to it (or to its icon in the Finder) and double-click the desired file type. That's it -- no other carpal-tunnel-syndrome-inducing clicks are necessary. It even remembers the last one you did, so you can zero in on it with ruthless efficiency. Setting up the list of file types & creators is just as easy -- just drag & drop examples of those types into that list box.

		And yet, it is not omnipotent:
		It doesn't support dragging folders, for batch or recursive changes. (I haven't needed it, and it seems a little dangerous...) Yikes, there's no Undo!
