Andres, I am searching for doing the same thing. By altering the plist, you also need to touch the file to advertise to Finder that it needs to refresh its database. There are other ways too. The best way would be to create an external binding into the launch services API.
In the past, I did a hack that could do this kind of stuff by altering some plists and default entries on mac os x tiger. check this post http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/73700 I had a stack to create such custom protocol entries for mac os x, but I can't find it... maybe it was destroyed with my old machine when it fried. :-) If I find it and you still want it, I can send to you. andre On 1/24/08, Andres Martinez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello again, > > With more google search I found the following... > > ------------------------------------------ > Here is what you need to do to register your app for a custom URL > scheme (for the example we will use a "myapp" scheme). > 1) In your Info.plist, add a new entry for CFBundleURLTypes?: > > <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key> > <array> > <dict> > <key>CFBundleURLName</key> > <string>MyApp's URL</string> > <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key> > <array> > <string>myapp</string> > </array> > </dict> > </array> > 2) Somewhere in your application's startup code (e.g. init), add this > code: > > - (void)registerMyApp > { > [[NSAppleEventManager sharedAppleEventManager] setEventHandler:self > andSelector:@selector(getUrl:withReplyEvent:) > forEventClass:kInternetEventClass andEventID:kAEGetURL]; > } > > - (void)getUrl:(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)event withReplyEvent: > (NSAppleEventDescriptor *)replyEvent > { > NSString *url = [[event paramDescriptorForKeyword:keyDirectObject] > stringValue]; > // now you can create an NSURL and grab the necessary parts > } > ------------------------------------------ > > Now, I need to know how can I run such code from within my Rev app. > > > Regards, > Andres Martinez > www.baKno.com > > On Jan 24, 2008, at 4:15 PM, Andres Martinez wrote: > > > Hello > > > > I found the following text in this page... > > http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/playground/security/URLschemes/ > > > > -------------------------------------------------- > > "The Finder automatically registers all applications as it becomes > > aware of them, such as [...] when the user navigates to a folder > > containing them." > > > > Part of that registration involves LaunchServices (an under-the-hood > > thing, somewhat similar/related to InternetConfig) to check if a > > thusly found application advertises itself as being capable of > > handling a specific URL scheme.
