You can use launch services to find the default app for a file or file
type you can also test whether an app will handle a file or file type.
There is no documentation for launch services yet though the header
file is easy enough to follow, alternative I have a wrapper class for
launch services on my web site,

I need to provide users a list of suitable "helper" applications in
the Preferences panel of my application. I expected to find some
simple API for this in NSWorkspace or a similar class (e.g.,
"-applicationsForFileType:"), but no luck. This is clearly something
that's done in the Finders get info panel (under "Open With:"). Is
there public API for it?
Thanks!,
