When I try to save my application's document, the document does not

the debugger console. The document, including type, UTI, and

that
window permits.)
I also cannot open old documents that had the correct extension.
(Yes,
saving worked before, and I can't determine what went wrong.)
My question, in brief, is: How do I get the behavior I believe I am
specifying?
The easiest thing to do is delete LSItemContentTypes from your
Info.plist. Alternately, compiling against the 10.4 SDK should
give you the 10.4 behavior. For those of us who added
LSItemContentTypes and tried to use UTIs in Tiger, the situation in
NSDocument/NSDocumentController sucks; I finally just removed
LSItemContentTypes.
Personally I think the number of deprecated methods in NSDocument/
NSDocumentController is out of control, since your open/save/export
code paths change depending on OS, SDK, and existing overrides.
...and lest this grumpiness be misinterpreted, I prefer working with
UTIs over other identifiers, and the changes to UTIs are great for
10.5-only apps. I'm just starting to wish there was a new NSDocument
class instead of one with 20 deprecated methods that sometimes get used.
The message says I should declare my UTI in
UTExportedTypeDeclarations. But Xcode does not provide a UI for
creating or editing that list.
You have to hand-edit Info.plist to add it, as far as I know.
Well, I hand-edtited it and still had the same problem.
I just dumped (deleted) the UTI and all worked fine.
Where did you place UTExportedTypeDeclarations in the plist file btw?
At the end of the file, not that it matters in the dictionary :). It
looks like this:
