You can't "set a UTI on something." You provide a UTI declaration in your Info.plist, consisting of a set of attributes that define what it means for a file to conform to a UTI, and Launch Services uses that to match files against when it tries to determine their UTI. So, no, by definition you can't set it on your plugin bundle. Did you instead mean you wanted to provide your UTI declaration in your plugin bundle's Info.plist? That won't work, unforunately. The "Declaring New Uniform Type Identifiers" section of the Uniform Type Identifiers Overview enumerates the bundles which Launch Services consults when searching for UTI declarations: app bundles, Spotlight importers, and Automator actions. http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/understanding_utis/understand_utis_declare/understand_utis_declare.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001319-CH204-SW1 --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
