Hi all,
I'm working on making an app accept drag and drop of files. It appears
to do that I need to put the right incantations into the plist in the
app bundle.
Py2app helps out a lot with that, but now I need to figure out what
incantations I need.
The case at hand is a text editor, so I want:
- It should accept ALL text files for editing.
- It shouldn't impose its icon on anything.
- Maybe it should accept all files -- you never really know, and it
really bugs me when an app won't accept a file that the OS thinks it
doesn't know what to do with -- if I get Garbage, I get Garbage.
This is what I've tried:
Plist = dict(CFBundleDocumentTypes= [dict(CFBundleTypeExtensions=["*"],
CFBundleTypeRole="Editor"),
]
)
That does seem to allow it to accept all files. What if I did just want
text? There's no way to specify all the possible extensions.
I've noticed that there is:
CFBundleTypeName
Which I could set to: "kUTTypeText"
would that do it? And is the ByndleTypeName and BundleTypeExtensions an
AND or OR relationship?
This is all a bit confusing, as I thought OS-X figured out file types
from combination of extensions, old Type and creator codes, and the *nix
"file" utility. I that case, couldn't I just set a Mime-type or
something, and let the OS (or is the Finder?) figure out extensions,
etc. Is that what CFBundleTypeName does?
Is there anything else I should do?
This is a wxPython App, by the way but I don't think that effects this
issue.
-Chris
