- Thread-topic: Setting a document's icon and default app
Hi,
I¹ve set up my app with a document type (see below), moved the app to
Applications, logged out, logged back in, created a document of this type,
but the setting the doc¹s icon and association with my app does not occur
automatically, only when I manually do Get Info and set it. What am I
missing here? Is there a function I should be calling to make this happen
when the file is created?
I do changeFileAttributes to set the classic HFS file type and creator code,
but it does not seem to have any effect (I guess I did not expect it to, but
you never know)
NSDictionary* attributes = [NSDictionary
dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"IDFV", NSFileHFSTypeCode,
@"IDFD", NSFileHFSCreatorCode,
nil];
NSString* path = // set the path here
BOOL changedOK = [[NSFileManager defaultManager]
changeFileAttributes:attributes atPath:path];
Thanks for your advice,
Michael
