These are not my files. just know (intellectual property) how to read and write them. There are approx 18 formats that will ultimately be supported by by generator.

Furthermore why so convoluted and difficult? I should be able to say call me for files of type'.pes' and be done with it.

Any help is appreciated.


The system has to consider the more general situation - what if the type were '.txt'?

Approaching the problem sideways - did you consider just using the embedded JPG/PDF preview images? Setting your file up as a package is really easy (much easier than dealing with UTIs) and adding the images is likewise very straightforward. Maybe I'm just lazy but I'll pick the easy option (i.e. get the OS to deal with it rather than write my own generator) every time.
