bit 10	value &H0400	hasCustomIcon
bit 8	value &H0100	hasBeenInited (Finder has seen the file since it has been created)
bit 7	value &H0080	hasNoINITs (there is no INIT rsrc in the Extension file)
bit 6	value &H0040	isShared
bits 1-3	value &H000E	color (as a 3-bit value from 0-7)

FileListMBS.TrueItem(index as Integer) as folderitem

Returns nil on any error.
The reason why you use this class is to avoid makeing folderitems which is slow, so don't use this function too often. e.g. good if you just take 5 folderitems for 20000 files by filtering.

TrueItem will use GetTrueFolderItem so the link/alias files are not resolved by Xojo.
Due to bugs in Xojo, you may still get alias resolved.
