SetFile is a small AppleScript for capturing and saving Macintosh "creator" and "type" information from an existing prototype file and to subsequently set "creator" and "type" fields on files to match the prototype file.

Drag a file to the icon. SetFile will display the creator and type for the file. If you would like to apply this creator and type to other files, select "Save". If you would like to apply the saved creator and type to this file, select "Overwrite". If neither of these choices is appropriate, select "Skip".

SetFile works on individual files, on selections of files, on folders full of files, and on sub-folders.
If used on collections of files, it will offer the choice of applying the saved creator/type to ALL files within the collection, or of stepping through the collection and Asking what to do for each file.
