Hello,
I'm wondering how I can make files with a particular extension open
in my application, but without making my application document-based.
The files are just different sets of preferences and scores for a
game - opening one will simply switch the game to using those
preferences. The user can edit, add and switch the option sets in the
Preferences window, but it would be nice if they could also
doubleclick on one of the files in the Finder, just like I used to do
with Eudora preference files before it could handle multiple
personalities. I want them to be in their own files (rather than just
stored using NSUserDefaults) so that they can be passed between users
and also to make it easier to add new default option sets.
There doesn't need to be a nib or window controller for the
'document' so it seems as though it would be overkill to use
NSDocument, I want my preference controller to handle them. I just
need a way of associating these preference files with my application
and knowing when one is opened. [How] can it be done?
Thanks for any help... I vaguely recall somebody asking this sort of
question on the list before but I can't find it in the archives.
