Hi Graham,
It's not that I wanted to avoid it, I wasn't aware it was that easy :-)
However, in your example you use the mainbundle of the current
application. Is it possible to use this technique when the bundle is
another application ?
i.e. the task I'm trying to achieve is when given an application (any
application on the host system) I'd like to determine what document
types it's associated with.
Thanks
-Mic
