You shouldn't live with it. Here's how I do it:

   //f = a folderItem, which will be my database
   if f <> nil then                       

     tempDataBase = new MyDataBase
     tempDataBase.Creator = "MYCR"       // make creator

     result = tempDataBase.Create(f, 1, 2 * 1024 )

     f.MacType = "MYFT" //set file type
...
    end if
