Hi.

I've noticed a problem with 6.0.4, and now, I've just installed 6.0.7, and the
problem still arises:  It seems as though when I have a lot of documents
created by the same program, many of them lose their type and become files of
another data file's type.  For example, I have tons of SoundEdit files that
I've made or downloaded.  One of them was "I'll be back".  Now, instead of all
of them being files of type "SoundEdit document", some are "I'll be back
document".  I rebuilt the desktop once, but that kills any messages put in the
Get Info text window, so I'd rather not do that again.  Has anyone else ever
had this happen?  I'm working on an SE/2MB, tons of INITs/CDEVs.

Thanks.
