If this is a document format you're introducing to the system, I've
done it with the following in my Info.plist. In my case I am making
it a bundle since it has executable code.
<key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>someExtension</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeIconFile</key>
<string>AnIcon</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
<string>The Bundle Name</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeOSTypes</key>
<array>
<string>BNDL</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
<string>Viewer</string>
<key>LSItemContentTypes</key>
<array>
<string>com.yourcompany.yourtype</string>
</array>
<key>LSTypeIsPackage</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</array>

I've been searching for a while now, and I can't find any
documentation on
how I programmatically create a simple 'file package' with Cocoa.
ie, one of those folders that has the 'package bit' set (or is it the
hasBundle bit?)
When I looked at FSCatalogInfo, I can't see which fields might
contain the
current flags - the finder info is just an anonymous block of
integers.
Does someone have some nice simple, cocoa-callable, example code
that shows
how to create a package?
As an aside, when I tried just creating a normal folder, then using
File
Buddy to set the package bit, and whilst it then works as a package
from
NSWorkspace's perspective, it still has the disclosure triangle in the
finders list view, rather than requiring 'Show Package Contents' to
peek
inside. So perhaps there's more to it?
Note, I do *not* want a bundle here, I'm wanting to do something
similar to
'.rtfd'
