Hello!
Does anybody know what needs to be done (or must not be done) for the
Cocoa application to appear in Finder's "Open With..." contextual menu
for a given document extension?
My applications all declare document extensions and if they are the
only one for given extension, even the document icon appears correctly
in Finder view, and double click opens the document in my application.
But I cannot make Finder display my applications in the list of the
"Open With..." contextual menu. So when there are more applications for
an extension, my application does not get listed as a choice in that
menu.
I didn't even notice this until one user wanted to use OpenWith menu
and my application was not there, so she emailed me with the
question...
The applications are normal drag-install Cocoa apps.
Anybody knows what is the required ingredient ? Or what might be a
possible problem?
izidor
