FourCharCode2NSString

As I have written before, the best way to convert a FourCharCode to an NSString* for NSLog()ing is to use the NSFileTypeForHFSTypeCode() function. But for the life of me I can’t remember that name, even though I use it about once a month. It’s too long, and it has too little to do with what I’m using it for.

So I have added the line:
#define FourCharCode2NSString(err) NSFileTypeForHFSTypeCode(err)
To my prefix-files, because I can remember FourCharCode2NSString().

UPDATE: (2008-08-06) There is an even easier way.
