Hallo Mac Lancer
I have recently developed my first Cocoa Aplication creating custom
ducumen bundles. What I did was to not only registering the document types
but also export the file types in case they are not yet registered.
This was my first app that supports a quicklook plugin for
previes and thumbnails in Finder. This is why I exported the UTT's.
In my QL plugin I added the type to the supported documents info.
To accomplish this I have added the following to my applications "Info.plist"
file:
<key>UTExportedTypeDeclarations</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
<array>
<!-- CHANGE: My files are bundles, yours are
plain files -->
<string>com.apple.package</string>
</array>
<key>UTTypeDescription</key>
<!-- CHANGE: You description of the type -->
<string>Portfolio</string>
<key>UTTypeIconFile</key>
<string>Icon.icns</string>
<key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
<!-- CHANGE: This was my real reverse DNS identifier
for the filetype -->
<string>com.yourcompany.filetype</string>
<key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
<dict>
<key>public.filename-extension</key>
<array>
<string>portfolio</string>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</array>
