The default handling application for a file type is the one that must contain the icon for the file type. If you've set the third party app to be the one to handle the file (when it's double-clicked on in Finder), then your own app cannot be the one supplying the icon. You can supply a custom QuickLook preview generator, although I think if it's bundled in your app it might work unless your app owns those files? > Secondly, how can I tell quick look to preview the-said files just like it > would any other text file ? I believe if you specify that the UTI of the custom file types descends from the plain text UTI type, it'll just work. -- Seth Willits _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
