Plain Text UTI Madness

Subject: Plain Text UTI Madness

I'm trying to get this NSOpenPanel to select all plain text files. This should be *simple* right? Sheesh. So I thought I'd use a UTI (in addition to some specific extensions and the HFS type 'TEXT'), so I added kUTTypePlainText. That really should be just dandy for my needs.

Except it's not.

I have a file without an extension, which in Finder is shown as "Plain text", has kMDItemKind = "Plain text", and yet kMDItemContentType is "public.data" -- what gives? Why is it a plain text "kind" of file, but not public.plain-text?

Short of allowing *any* file to be selected by this open panel, the only thing I can think to do is create a delegate which checks kMDItemContentType for the file to see if it's "Plain text". I really would rather not.

Can anyone offer some helpful tips?


Thanks,
