Hi,

what is the correct spelling of the BEOS:TYPE file attribute value 
for an executable
   application/x-vnd.Be-elfexecutable
or
   application/x-vnd.be-elfexecutable
In the first the first letter of Be is upper case,
where in the second it is lower case.

Background information:
If a printer driver add-on uses the second form,
the Printers preflet cannot detect it. This happens
when I cross build a driver and ftp it to Haiku.
At this point the file attribute BEOS:TYPE is not set.
Using Tracker to identify the file sets BEOS:TYPE
to "application/x-vnd.be-elfexecutable" (lower case "be").

Bye,
Michael
