NSDocument methods: -(BOOL) writeToURL:(NSURL*)absoluteURL ofType:(NSString*)typeName error:(NSError**)outError passes the type in typeName. -(NSArray*) writableTypesForSaveOperation:(NSSaveOperationType)saveOperation expects an array of type name strings. -(NSString*) fileTypeFromLastRunSavePanel returns the type name string.

Right, which means NSDocument should've had its various methods that deal with its accessory panel use something more viable like extensions and/or UTIs, which is exactly what NSSavePanel uses to deal with file types. > If you want to customize what types NSDocument shows in its default accessory > view, then overriding -writableTypesForSaveOperation: is exactly the right > thing to do.

Although NSDocument has already gone through big changes in the way it handles saving documents, I wonder how likely they'd be to change it again. -- Steve Mills office: 952-818-3871 home: 952-401-6255 cell: 612-803-6157 _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
