Under 10.5, I'm trying to switch over to using UTI's but am seeing some weird results:
Given a pathName: if I call NSWorkspaces' typeOfFile:pathName error:&error, it returns the proper type (com.apple.rtfd) for an RTFD document. But when I then create an NSURL of the path and pass that URL to NSDocumentController's openDocumentWithContentsOfURL, it determines the document type to be MSWORD which fails because it tries using initWithDocFormat to load the document. The RTFD document was created in TextEdit. I have an MSWORD type in my CFBundleDocumentTypes, but there is no LSItemContentTypes defined for it. Here are the two entries for these types. Is there a reason why openDocumentWithContentsOfURL would somehow override the type when compared with NSWorkspaces' typeOfFile? I'm trying to understand what it is doing so I can take the right measures to correct it. <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key> <array> <string>rtfd</string> </array> <key>CFBundleTypeIconFile</key> <string>rtfd.icns</string> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>RTFD</string> <key>CFBundleTypeOSTypes</key> <array> <string>RTFD</string> </array> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Editor</string> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>com.apple.rtfd</string> </array> <key>LSTypeIsPackage</key> <true/> <key>NSDocumentClass</key> <string>RTFDocument</string> <key>NSPersistentStoreTypeKey</key> <string>Binary</string> </dict> <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key> <array> <string>doc</string> </array> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>MSWORD</string> <key>CFBundleTypeOSTypes</key> <array> <string>W8BN</string> <string>W6BN</string> </array> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Viewer</string> <key>NSDocumentClass</key> <string>RTFDocument</string> </dict> Thanks. -- Mark Munz unmarked software http://www.unmarked.com/ _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
