I'm writing a spotlight plugin to grab the metadata from the data files that my application uses. The files are unique to my application so I am exporting a new universal type identifier. Everything appears to be working, the metadata gets stored and is indexed and I've successfully queried it in multiple ways.

My problem lies in getting finder's spotlight search to filter on this new file type. Basically when you start the search in finder, you can click that little plus button and attempt to search "kinds" of files. If you specify "Other kinds" it populates a pull-down list of all sorts of file types that have associations with applications on my hard drive. What I would like is for my new file type to show up there as well. Besides declaring my UTI is there anything else necessary?

have you got a Schema.strings file for your importer?
