One of those ought to work; the documentation isn't too clear on this. But using the type "asdf" as you used it above only works if the file's extension is "asdf"; it doesn't work for creator codes.

Huh. I would have said the documentation was very clear:
"... allows selection of ones that match the types in fileTypes (an NSArray of file extensions and/or HFS file types)."
but also very WRONG. I s'pose a less of a cynic might claim ambiguity, but I don't see anything ambiguous about it. (Bug ID 3567369).

Given the definition of HFS file types:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ LowLevelFileMgmt/Concepts/HFSFileTypes.html>
it seems clear enough?

Perhaps the method definitions simply need a link to that definition?
