My app creates files that end in ".rtf"
I want my app to open the .rtf files that I create. I have code to set
the type and creator codes when I write the file. This code succeeds and
when I click on a .rtf file I've created it opens in my app. However if I
edit this file with my app and resave it (my type creator code again
successfully sets the creator), then when I reopen it, it opens in
TextEdit. If I use Open to reopen my file I find that the creator has
reverted to zero. What is going on?
What SHOULD I do to get a .rtf file to open in my app as if the user had
set the Get Info to do that?
Don't. Well, I don't know what your app does, but generally, you should
let *user* to decide how and where to open his RTFs. An app which, if
occassionally used to edit some file, steals it for itself (by adding its
creator to it) is a royal pain in the neck!
