OK, you're in a not-so-bad situation then. Th

format, so there shouldn't be a problem with a single UTI. It would be
great if Apple included this in the OS, although is there a chance

decides on a UTI based on the file's extension and HFS type (and MIME
type?). So if two apps declare different UTIs that refer to the same
extension, LS will pick
