Hallo Mac Lancer
I have recently developed my first Cocoa Aplication creating custom
ducumen bundles. What I did was to not only registering the document types
but also export the file types in case they are not yet registered.
This was my first app that supports a quicklook plugin for
previes and thumbnails in Finder. This is why I exported the UTT's.
In my QL plugin I added the type to the supported documents info.
To accomplish this I have added the following to my applications Info.plist
file:
keyUTExportedTypeDeclarations/key
array
dict
keyUTTypeConformsTo/key
array
!-- CHANGE: My files are bundles, yours are
plain files --
stringcom.apple.package/string
/array
keyUTTypeDescription/key
!-- CHANGE: You description of the type --
stringPortfolio/string
keyUTTypeIconFile/key
stringIcon.icns/string
keyUTTypeIdentifier/key
!-- CHANGE: This was my real reverse DNS identifier
for the filetype --
stringcom.yourcompany.filetype/string
keyUTTypeTagSpecification/key
dict
keypublic.filename-extension/key
array
stringportfolio/string
/array
/dict
/dict
/array

Hello, Gentlemen,
I’m working on a Cocoa application that is intended to open documents in
custom format. It is a document-based application and it should open files
with aeep/aeew extensions. The problem is that on some Mac computers after
installation aeep/aeew files do not open when the user double-clicks them.
My thought was that the aeep/aeew file extensions are not registered for
some reason during the installation. I even tried adding 'lsregister' call
to the postflight script but with no luck – the files still do not open.
Unfortunately, I do not have much information about configurations of these
macs as this behavior is reported by end users. Does anyone know what can be
the reason for such behavior? Am I missing something? Some additional
information below:
1. The application is installed to the folder /Library/Application
Support/AnimalsandEarth/AE Photo.app
2. Info.plist file contains the following dictionary:
keyCFBundleDocumentTypes/key
array
dict
keyCFBundleTypeExtensions/key
array
stringaeep/string
stringaeew/string
stringjpg/string
stringjpeg/string
stringpng/string
stringgif/string
stringbmp/string
/array
keyCFBundleTypeIconFile/key
string/string
keyCFBundleTypeName/key
stringAnimalsAndEarthPhoto/string
keyCFBundleTypeOSTypes/key
array
string/string
/array
keyCFBundleTypeRole/key
stringViewer/string
keyNSDocumentClass/key
stringMyDocument/string
/dict
/array
3. The URL to the installer:
http://www.animalsandearth.com/macapp/animalsandearth.dmg
4. Some aeep files can be found in the ~/Pictures/AnimalsandEarth Photos/
folder
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
AE
