Bear in mind that just because a file contains XML data doesn't mean that the UTI system knows that. File type identification is based on a number of things, but file-content-sniffing isn't one of them. There has to be a definition of the document type somewhere, either in the built-in list (the quoted document has it) or in some installed application.

That said, if it seems to be excluding something that does in fact have a conforming definition, then that's a bug, so send it along.

In my case, I have a test xml, xsl, and xsd suite (all previously validated and tested XML with xmllint and xsltproc).


Running 'choose file of type {"public.xml"}' in Script Editor doesn't even enable the .xml for choosing.

So I'd be curious as to how come Luther Fuller gets to say it works perfectly.

I'm tending towards a bug because so far it's 2:1 not working v.s. working.
