I have a get-file dialog that sets up a type pop-up using UTIs. It
doesn't work on one computer, and does work on another, both running
10.5.1. By "doesn't work", I mean that files with an extension that
should associate them with one of these UTIs are dimmed and hence cannot
be chosen.
I used the lsregister tool to verify that my UTIs are properly
registered. When I do a Finder Get Info on one of the files in
question, the Kind string shown there matches one of the items in the
type pop-up. The UTIs are declared using UTImportedTypeDeclarations in
my Info.plist.
The computer where it does work is an Intel Mac, and the one where it
doesn't work is PowerPC.
