Maybe I should reformulate my question.
I want the Finder to call my QLGenerator whenever it sees a file of
type '.pes'.
Can someone show me the required info.plist entries?
This does not get my generator called:
<key>UTExportedTypeDeclarations</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
<string>com.pes.britonleap</string>
<key>UTTypeDescription</key>
<string>Brother/Babylock/Bernina Home Embroidery Format</string>
<key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
<array>
<string>public.item</string>
</array>
<key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
<dict>
<key>public.filename-extension</key>
<array>
<string>pes</string>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</array>
Furthermore why so convoluted and difficult? I should be able to say
call me for files of type'.pes' and be done with it.
Any help is appreciated.

Compare with the example at http://developer.apple.com/macosx/uniformtypeidentifiers.html
which is the first hit on the search that Julien suggested. You're
missing a number of key/value pairs, notably UTTypeTagSpecification
and UTTypeConformsTo.
