You might be going about it wrong. A user can, in Finder's Get Info window, set the application they prefer for all files of a given "type". On my system I've set some text file types to always open in TextMate, for example. TextMate the app provides custom file icons for all the file types it ca

Matching a vcard with an address book record

Using initWithVCardRepresentation: to create an ABPerson gives me a new person every time even if that person is already in Address book. If you drag a vCard into address book and it's already there, it prompts you as to whether to use the existing/new/merge etc., so obviously there is some way

Re: Animate NSWindow frame using Core Animation?
