Yes, it works :-)
I got it now, there is no programming needed. That was my big mistake :-)
Thanks a lot for this Christopher. I will check that book out.

I honestly don't know what you mean now. As far as I know there is some

only thing I must do is to type a icon name in PB? It does not work.
No problem. Let's see if I can make it more clear.
* Let's say that your saved files will have an extension of '.smpl' and
you already have an icon for this file type (smpIcon.icns).
* Drag the icns file into your project. I usually just put it in with the
other Resources since that is where it will end up in the built package
anyway.
* Now you will have to edit your Target in PB. Under the "Info.plist
Entries" -> "Simple View" item...
* Look for the "Document Types" section and notice that it should have a
single entry. Change the "Extensions" and "OS Types" fields to the
extension that you want to use for your documents (i.e. smpl or whatever
you are using). Also, this is where you tell it what icon to use for the
files.
* Save, clean, build.
For the document icons to work correctly I think you may have to move your
application from the build directory to the Applications directory and then
logout/login.
BTW, most of this is pulled straight from Hillegass's Cocoa book. I highly
recommend it for any Cocoa programmer.
