Hello,
I know how to create an application and instruct the system about a
custom type and its use by using both CFBundleDocumentTypes and
UTExportedTypeDeclarations in Info.plist.
My problem: this type is not actually defined and used by an
application, but by a preference pane. It seems that putting the proper
entries in the preference pane's Info.plist doesn't work (or am I
missing something ?).
A possible solution I would like to avoid: make my preference pane
scriptable and write a helper application, that defines the type and
opens 'System Preferences' with the correct pane, and then do the dirt
work.
So I'm thinking: it must be possible to do the equivalent of using
CFBundleDocumentTypes and UTExportedTypeDeclarations programmatically in
my preference pane itself right ? That way, the first time the
preference pane is opened, my custom time will be "registered" (but:
would that be persistent across sessions ?). Can anyone provide some
sample code that would do something like that ? I know some Cocoa, but I
fear that's lower level, and CF is still black magick to me.
Thank you !
