Eric, I believe you also need to add a "Document types" entry to your
applet's plist file. In a quick test on my Mac, it seemed to do the trick.
The relevant part of the plist file should look like this:
Information Property List
Document types
Item 1
CFBundleTypeExtensions
Item 1 -> INDD
Document Type Name -> InDesign® CS3 Document
Document OS Types
Item 1 -> IDd5
Role -> Viewer
Note that the arrows (->) above indicate the separation between keys and
values. The last entry (Role) has four possible values (None, Editor,
Viewer, Shell). I leave it to you to determine the appropriate value for
your usage.
HTH,
Stan C.
