File lists

[Andre Garzia]

Folks,

Bundles can have more extensions than just .app. Some bundles that I know:

.app
.bundle
.kext
.rtfd
.webarchive

All the iWork files are bundles (.pages, .key...)

Dashboard Widgets are bundles too...

I think the easiest way to detect bundles is to get the folders and treat
any folder with an extension as a bundle.

Cheers
andre
