Sidney thanks,

Will this still be available in Snow Leopard?

How about this?

CFStringRef UTI =
UTTypeCreatePreferredIdentifierForTag(kUTTagClassFilenameExtension,
CFSTR("pdf"), NULL);
NSString *name = [(NSString*)UTTypeCopyDescription(UTI) autorelease];
CFRelease(UTI);
// name is now "Portable Document Format (PDF)"

Unfortunately all I can feed it with is the file extension....

Any other idea? Isn't there a mapping plist between extension and Kind that
exists somewhere?

Anyone knows how to get the system doc kind from a given extension. Not
from a file, or a file path for that matter, but just from an extension.
Like giving "pdf" and receiving "Portable Document Format (PDF). I've tried


NSString * theTest = [[NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController]
typeFromFileExtension:@"pdf"];


But I get nil.

Any idea?


[NSDocumentController displayNameForType:] ?
