Docs say "You need to declare conformance only with your type's immediate "superclass," because the conformance hierarchy allows for inheritance between identifiers. That is, if you declare your identifier as conforming to the public.tiff identifier, it automatically conforms to identifiers higher up in the hierarchy, such as public.image and public.data." > <key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key> > <dict> > <key>public.filename-extension</key> > <array> > <string>cdf</string> > <string>nc</string> > <string>andi</string> > <string>aia</string> > </array> Here there will be a problem. There are now 2 UTIs (edu.ucar.unidata.netcdf.andi and edu.ucar.unidata.netcdf) that both claim the extensions .cdf and .nc. One will win out. You might want to read this rather long but useful thread: <http://lists.apple.com/archives/carbon-dev/2006/Jan/msg00869.html> > <key>public.mime-type</key> > <string>application/x-netcdf-andi</string> > </dict> > </dict> ></array> > >UTTypeIconFile entry is dependent on the name of the icon in the >application bundle so not very relevant here. I am not exactly aware >if there are any specific MIME types already is common use, if so, >I'd be happy to hear. No idea about the mime type for that format... Once your proposal is finalised, you should submit a bug to Apple requesting they add it to the OS's list of known UTIs, as outlined by the UTI engineer here: <http://lists.apple.com/archives/carbon-dev/2006/Jan/msg00479.html> hth, -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
