Very good summary, thanks. "what kinds of files the application is aware of or wants to make other applications aware of."
Which is exactly what I want to do; I need to make QuickTime Player aware of a video-file type that I'm providing a Movie Importer component for. I'm told that the only way to ensure that a new file type opens in QT Player on a user's system is to install a stub app that uses the UTI to mark the type as derived from public.movie. Perian does this, and the little app is compiled AppleScript that calls QT Player to open the file. I can't get this to work, however; the app launches but just sits there. Anyway, I appreciate the info.
