You're conflating the hierarchy afforded by UTIs with the mechanism used to determine whether a file conforms to an individual UTI. Adding a UTI xattr that acts as an override for the extension/OSType/MIME-based detection approach doesn't make it any less possible to conform to a UTI hierarchy. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
