Hi all,
UTIs are great, but things get messy when Apple doesn't define a UTI for
a file type that is _not_ mine, but that I and many applications use.
For example, the QD3D 3DMF format. What should I do? In particular:
1) What UTTypeIdentifier to use?
2) What to conform to? public.audiovisual-content or public.image or ...?
3) What happens if what I choose is different from what other apps choose?
I'm thinking of going with this:
<key>UTImportedTypeDeclarations</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
<array>
<string>public.data</string>
</array>
<key>UTTypeDescription</key>
<string>QuickDraw 3D 3DMF file</string>
<key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
<string>com.somebody.3dmf</string>
<key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.ostype</key>
<string>3DMF</string>
<key>public.filename-extension</key>
<array>
<string>3dmf</string>
<string>3dm</string>
</array>
<key>public.mime-type</key>
<string>x-world/x-3dmf</string>
</dict>
</dict>
<array>
Thanks,
