Rick, first of all let me admit that it really brightened up my day
here to visualize the confidence with which you and this Apple
engineer go "click" and expect the tools to "just work". Thank you
for that.
Seriously, though, although Xcode is pretty good, there are quite a
few things that have to go on under the hood before an entry in that
target properties inspector results in your app being able to open
the corresponding file extension type. Most notably, and this is a
bug that I myself have filed previously, Xcode needs to preprocess
and then rewrite your app's Info.plist file. And although this
operation probably takes about 5 milliseconds on a slow Mac, for
some reason Apple chose to not make it a part of the Build process.
It seems to only happen after you "clean" your target, and this
might be your problem.
Look inside your product package's Contents/Info.plist at the
CFBundleDocumentTypes key and see if you find your .gpx type
listed. If not, quit your app, "Clean" your project by clicking in
menu ► Build ► Clean and wait a few seconds for it to "succeed".
Then Build again (this will take some time) and it might work.
All that being said, if .gpx is still not in Info.plist, this is
more of an Xcode than a Cocoa issue and you address any further
comments to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks for responding, Jerry. I'm really quite stuck and getting
nowhere.
Actually, I don't think it's Xcode's problem. It seems to build the
Info.plist just fine. Also, using lsregister, I can see that something
is registered for the .gpx extension (see below). It's clearly a Mac
OS X issue, not an Xcode-specific issue, and I'm at a loss as to
what's wrong.
