This might be a repeat - I can’t mail from my regular address from where I am currently.

This is not the appropriate list for advocation of UTI over any other file association system.

I’m not aware of any that would be appropriate.

So please take it elsewhere. The comments on that article, Twitter, where ever. But this isn’t the place for it.

Thanks

Scott

As a result, most of their conclusions are incorrect as well. If you can't set the UTI differently on two files with the same type code and extension, it can't serve as a creator code.

I've been wondering about this. Daring Fireball carried some links with some strong criticisms on this, and I've been waiting for them to pick up on AI article, but so far they haven't. I'm just waiting for the dust to settle.

It seems to me that this isn't Cocoa-related, so it's really off- topic...

Sadly, there doesn't appear to be a good mailing list for these topics. The only other one where it might fit is xcode-users, but it isn't an Xcode specific topic either.


It seems there needs to be another mailing list where topics such as these (plist files, UTIs, etc.) which cover more misc. Mac & iPhone related topics can be discussed and be clearly on topic - of course, the downside is that nearly everyone reads Cocoa-Dev and Xcode-users now and may not choose to read a third mailing list, so if someone wanted their question answered, what would they do? Probably post to cocoa-dev and then duck.

Perhaps the best solution is for a moderator to step in real quick and make it clear where discussions such as these belong (again?).
