Thanks for that. I am dealing with .torrent extensions. I have the

defined as "org.bittorrent.torrent". Both apps are using the same

format, so there shouldn't be a problem with a single UTI.
OK, you're in a not-so-bad situation then. The best you can do is
contact as many authors of torrent apps as you can, and agree upon a
common declaration. Or maybe there already is one, did you search?
None of the apps I found have it set up in the Info.plist. From users
with the problem I've discovered they have it set up as
"com.bittorrent.torrent". Perhaps I should just change it to that, but
that's not future-proof enough incase another program decides to
define a different UTI for it. No matter who I contact, if one app
sets it to something different, this functionally breaks. Since the
torrent file format is standard, Apple declaring it would be by far
the safest thing, and pretty much the only thing that would make me
remove the extension check (instead of just checking UTI).
It would be
great if Apple included this in the OS, although is there a chance
considering their stance on torrent files? It is a legitimate file
format, regardless.
I wasn't aware they had a stance on this format. Do you have a
reference? I think you should file a bug regardless.
I have reported the bug already. I assume they have a stance because
an iPhone front-end for torrents was rejected, and they won't place
our app on the Mac OS X software download page.
I'm not sure how to use the rdar links - am I missing something
obvious? I will file a bug on Apple Bug Reporter.
You can't see my bugs, but you can reference them in your own bugs.
Will do.
