problem #2.
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?
I think the issue is not how you write the file, it's a matter of
application settings.
Under the "Targets" tab in PB you can specify file extensions that
your app recognizes. In the Jaguar PB, it's in aitem called
"Document Types" in a section called "Info.plist Entries". I think
if you add the .rtf and .sc file extensions and rebuild your app, the
Finder will know to consider your app as a candidate for opening
those files. You might have to log out and back in.
