That's not what the distinction between “exported” and “imported” means. They merely define an order precedence; if no exported types are found for a given tag (file extension, MIME type, etc.), but a matching imported type exists, the imported type will be used. You don't get to stop other developers from attempting to open files produced by your app. And if you fail to export your type, then when a user installs an app that imports your type, their documents will all attempt to open in that app by default because you didn't declare yourself as authoritative on that type by declaring it as exported. Please do read the UTI documentation. It explains all this. > Still cannot get it to work. And the folder contents are correct.

It needs to be _your_ UTI, which needs to _conform_ to com.apple.package. Right now, you're trying to claim that all file packages on the system are instances of your document type. FWIW, no on-disk file or folder can ever be of type com.apple.package itself, because that type has no tags. A folder can only ever be of a type that _conforms_ to com.apple.package. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
