Hi Graham, It's not that I wanted to avoid it, I wasn't aware it was that easy :-)
However, in your example you use the mainbundle of the current application. Is it possible to use this technique when the bundle is another application ? i.e. the task I'm trying to achieve is when given an application (any application on the host system) I'd like to determine what document types it's associated with.
