Hi!
This is fine having NSApplication handling things automatically, but it
cannot cover all what one could imagine.
So, is there a cocoa way (Obj-C) of sending or handling incoming Apple
events?
For instance, I have to send a 'quit' AppleEvents to an app of mine.
The only way I found until now was to go back to "old fashioned" carbon
stuff. This works fine, but... this requires me to give the app I want
to quit a creator code. It would be nice to identify it with the new
preferred "Identifier" string. For now, a new event type beside
"typeApplSignature" for this purpose would fulfil this need.
By the way: It is sad that one cannot rely on LSFindApplicationForInfo
to find an application. It may find it, or not if it has been moved by
the user or has never been used or whatever, according to the new way
the Finder is collecting application information. It's more flexible but
less reliable than the good old Desktop database.

All I want to know right now is just how to add support the required

event. I am not using the Multi-Document architecture, but still want
to
receive open doc events from certain image formats and process them.
The required Apple events are handled automatically by NSApplication.
When an 'odoc' event is sent to your application, the
-application:openFile: message will be sent to the application delegate
for each file to be opened.
