Hi,
I've written a simple Cocoa Document based application which views PDF
files. I've set all the appropriate Info.plist values (Identifier,
Type, Signature, etc.) and can set it as the default app for the PDF
docs. I can double click PDF documents to load them and drag documents
onto the application icon in the dock and all that good stuff.
Things get a little confused when I install a new version over an old
version. If I have the app icon in the dock dragging a document to it
doesn't necessarily open the doc in the app anymore unless I remove
the icon and put it back again. And if the previous version was set as
the default viewer for PDF files the new version doesn't necessarily
become the default viewer. Instead I have to make Preview the default
viewer and then change back to my app again. The new version has the
same name and is copied over the previous version. The only Info.plist
entry I change b/w versions is the version number.
Is there something else I need to do or am I actually seeing a problem
with Finder? I wonder if there isn't something the app could/should do
on start-up to make sure it's registered with Finder/OSX properly.
