I have a document based application which creates rtf or rtfd things.

This has the intended result that rtf files created by my app can be opened with TextEdit, while my app is the default.

How can I get the same for rtfd-directories (folders/ packages) - i.e. a directory which can be opened with TextEdit, while my app is the default ?
(I do not want my app to be the default for all rtfd directories, only for stuff it has created).

From "Document Packages", at <http://tinyurl.com/tx595> (*):

"Document packages should always have an extension to identify them— even though that extension may be hidden by the user. The extension allows the Finder to identify your document directory and treat it as a package. You should never associate a document package with a MIME type or 4-byte OS type."

Thanks very much for this link.
Do I have to read: "You should never associate..." as: "You can never associate..." ?


Kind regards,

Gerriet.
