Hi
Sorry for what is probably a stupid, newbie-ish qestion, but...
I have constructed a small piece of code to convert files from one
format to another. These files come from a Windows application, and get
spliced together and saved as one file on the Mac. The converter works,
but I am trying to get the output file to have an icon and a default
application associated with them. The default app is not the converter
program, and the converter tool is not document based (as that method
seemed to come with a lot of excess baggage).
I have managed to allocate icons to applications before (I've only been
at Cocoa / ObjectiveC for a few months), but I cannot seem to do it for
the document. So far, I have set up a document type in the target
editor, and the icon appears in the little box. I have set the
extension, but I have no idea about "MIME types" and "OS types". I was
led to believe tht I do not need any extra coding to add icons to
documents, but I am not sure if that's true in a non-document based app.
Can anyone help me?
Many thanks in advance...
Matt
