Charles,

that is clear now.

When browsing  through a directory, I saw GNUmakefile.

How can an application indicate it will open a file without an extension?

Thanks again,

Edwin

Yes, this info is in the Resources/Info-gnustep.plist of the app
wrapper. For example this the one that I made for Emacs:


{
  NSExecutable = "Emacs";
  NSRole = "Editor";
  NSIcon = "Emacs.tiff";
        XAppWrapper = YES;
  NSTypes = (
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "h" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.h.tiff";
    },
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "cpp" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.cpp.tiff";
    },
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "php" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.php.tiff";
    },
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "pl" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.pl.tiff";
    },
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "py" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.py.tiff";
    },
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "java" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.java.tiff";
    },
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "sh" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.sh.tiff";
    },
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "m" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.m.tiff";
    },
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "c" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.c.tiff";
    },
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "html", "htm", "xhtml" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.html.tiff";
    },
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "org" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.org.tiff";
    },
    {
      NSUnixExtensions = ( "txt", "text", "el" );
      NSIcon = "FileIcon_.txt.tiff";
    }
  );
}
