Hello. I'm implementing an NSDocument-based utility that loads mach-o files and
displays information about them. But no matter what UTI I put in the
Info.plist, I can't get the app to recognize the file when dropped on the dock
tile. The only way I could get it recognized is by having no UTI and

Very nice. I think I will find this useful. Thanks.

Just an aesthetic question. I've implemented an API for cocoa plugins in my
app, and the plugins use a custom extension, ftplugin. These plugins show up as
folders in the finder, even though I've set the app icon to an icns file. Is
there something particular I have to do to have the plugin trea

I doubt Apple would build in a way to circumvent this behavior. That would
defeat the purpose of having it there in the first place.
That said, you can build a kernel extension that

All this is easily found in the NSButton and NSButtonCell documentation. I

Brilliant! Seems the only way to go. Anyhow, thanks for the help

So I know how to set a view in an NSMenuItem, but my question is how to get it
to look similar to the Spotlight search menu. For example, if I set the first
item in a popup menu to a custom view, there is still a thin strip of "white"
across the top. I want the gradient from the view to fill up
Perhaps NSWindowController subclass is what you're looking for. A sheet is just
another window. Then set the File's Owner of the NIB file that houses the sheet
to this subclass.

The DiskManagement.framework is a private framework. Short of creating your own
API using low-level disk access, diskutil may be your best bet.
