Application we are currently working supports file drag from

It typically finds what type of file it is and then processes it
accordingly.
we don't want to solely depend on file extension.
How can file Mime Type help us..
We have listed few mime types which we support and mapped them
accordingly for processing.
How can one retrieve the Mime type for a particular file? tried
NSFileHandle and NSWorkSpace but of no help , (even googled around
for hints , may be my search strings aren't effective )
OS X doesn't rely on MIME types, for a variety of reasons.
You want to be using UTIs instead. Take a look here:
