The *ONLY* thing I have changed since before the problem is
that, when built, it now copies a metadata importer bundle into
its ...app/Contents/Library/Spotlight folder ... and the importer
works just fine. The thing is, "ext1" is the problem doc type and
the importer ONLY claims "ext2" docs, so the importer doesn't even
have anything to do with "ext1" types.
Did you correctly set up the UTExportedTypeDeclarations key in the
importer Info.plist?
Spotlight importers are driven off of their info plist, and not the
application's.
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I understand.
As I said, the importer (included in my app's bundle) works just fine
- documents are correctly indexed. It's the *application* that is not
claiming its own document type. Rather, it's 'half' claiming it
(again, it'll open correctly if the file is double-clicked, but its
icon is missing and dragging the file to the app's icon does not open
it - the app ignores the drop as if it's the wrong type).
In addition, as I said, of the two doc types the application
handles, one is working perfectly. The other (the one that's not
working) isn't even indexed by spotlight -- it's not supposed to be.
My importer doesn't import this type *by design*. To be specific,
whether the importer is indexing the affected file type is not the
issue. :-)
Please let me know if I'm missing something.
