I'm going from memory, but I don't think you need to do your own accessory view. Just call setFileTypes: with the desired types on the NSOpenPanel instance and you should get a popup by default, I think ... ? You can then get the fileType from that object back or so.

I've added an accessory panel from which the user can choose the file type being saved. Each type changes the extension of the file name in the name field. But when it gets back to my writeToURL: method, the typeName param is always the primary file type and never what the user might have changed it to. I've tried inspecting fileTypeFromLastRunSavePanel: and fileType:, but they're always the same as typeName.
