Hi all once again,
The archives haven't been much help in my particular question -- if it's
been covered, I humbly apologize!
I'll preface this by saying that I *can* make document icons work for *my
own* file types, e.g., document.mytype.
Where I'm running into trouble is getting my document icons to stick for
other, competing file types. For example, imagine I'm trying to process
.html, .htm, and/or .php files -- saving a document uses the icon for the
default program for the file type. In this case, BBEdit for .php files, and
Mozilla for .html/.htm files. Sure, when processing pre-made files, I'm not
necessarily against this behavior. But when creating a NEW file and saving
it, I think it should use my own icons.
Of course, when I Get-Info in Finder, my program's saved files -- even the
ones my program created -- are "open with" BBEdit and/or Mozilla. When I
change the "open with" setting, my icons pop up normally. But I guess I feel
I shouldn't have to change the "open with" on files that my own program
saved.
Under pre-X systems, I'd look at creator codes, but these sadly seem to have
disappeared for Cocoa applications, although I found lots of good stuff for
them in Carbon documentation (which I don't really want to tackle!).
Any ideas, or at least a concrete place I can look to figure it out myself?
THANKS.
Jim Derry
