Hi,

Is there a way (programmatically) that I can determine which document
types a particular application can open/view etc without resorting to
parsing it's info.plist file ?


Doesn't look like there is - NSDocumentController (where you might expect a method for this) doesn't have anything - it apparently reads the info.plist as necessary.

But when you say "parse", you're aware that you can do:

NSDictionary* info = [[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary];

and then simply request the types:

NSArray* docTypes = [info objectForKey:@"CFBundleDocumentTypes"];

Why would you want to avoid this when it's so straightforward?
