Thanks very much for your advice. After receiving your email I set the filetype in the object's init method:
[self setFileType:FILEEXTENSION_QUICKLOOK]; //#define FILEEXTENSION_QUICKLOOK @"CAQuickLook" However, saving the file as before, still does not append a file extension. On the call to: [self saveDocumentWithDelegate:self didSaveSelector:@selector(didSaveDocument:didSave:contextInfo:) contextInfo:nil]; ...I get this message from XCode: 2011-09-03 15:15:01.954 CATab[12618:903] -[NSDocumentController fileExtensionsFromType:] is deprecated, and does not work when passed a uniform type identifier (UTI). If the application didn't invoke it directly then the problem is probably that some other NSDocument or NSDocumentController method is getting confused by a UTI that's not actually declared anywhere. Maybe it should be declared in the UTExportedTypeDeclarations section of this app's Info.plist but is not. The alleged UTI in question is "CAQuickLook". I went to the XCode App Properties panel and added an Exported UTI with file extension of "CAQuickLook". However, saving the document, still does not append a file extension to the file name. What am I missing?
