Hi all,
how can I make my app to start automatically and open a document
file when I doubleclick on a file with a specific extension, e.g.
*.project? I have a file CustomInfo.plist in the project
directory and listed all document types.
It should be as simple as installing the app in one of the
standard locations, then running make_services.
I would assume GWorkspace honors the standard mechanism ... but
just in case, you could try using gopen to open the file without
having GWorkspace running/available.
NSWorkspace is supposed to setup a dictionary extPreferences in
+initialize. This is done by reading the file .GNUstepExtPrefs.
However, this file does not exist (is not created by make_services)!?
How is this supposed to work?
That dictionary is supposed to be used to specify user preferences
for which application to use in the case that more than one
application can handle the same type of document. It should be
irrelevant if you haven't set up any preferences.
However, it occurs to me that, if you set up a preference to use one
app, then deleted that app from the system, the code might try to
continue using that app even though it no longer exists ... that
might be worth looking in to.
