Good catch, I can't believe I got the type/creator backwards! However,
it still doesn't work. The icon doesn't change, and when double
clicked TextEdit is launched. I tried both the PkgInfo route and the
Info.plist route without any luck. You can see from this that I do an
ls, followed by a cat of PkgInfo, and followed by a cat of Info.plist:
Earth:~/Desktop/Untitled.rtfd/Contents tcunning$ ls
Info.plist PkgInfo
Earth:~/Desktop/Untitled.rtfd/Contents tcunning$ cat PkgInfo
RTFDEntx
Earth:~/Desktop/Untitled.rtfd/Contents tcunning$ cat Info.plist

I included a clip of my application's Info.plist so you can see I am
registering the create/type information correctly:

Has anybody tried this on a rtfd "bundle"?
Thanks,

Thanks for the quick response, that really looked like the right path
to follow, but I still couldn't get it to work. First I tried adding
the PkgInfo file to the Contents directory. The PkgInfo file was
simple enough, so I used vi to create the file containing "EntXRTFD"
(my document creator & type code). That did work even through a
reboot to try to flush finder cashes.
try "RTFDEntX" .. it's type, then creator.
Same thing with your Info.plist .. the CFBundlePackageType is the
filetype (RTFD) and the CFBundleSignature should be the creator (EntX)
Can these be added manually through a Terminal window or is there
some other flag that I have to set for the OS to pickup these
settings? Any other ideas?
I did it in the Terminal: mkdir foobar.rtfd/Contents; echo "RTFDxcde"
> foobar.rtfd/Contents/PkgInfo
