sorry for bothering you guys again. I am still not yet through with setting up a productive work environment.
When I double-click in some Finder like app on a file name - e.g. Test.gorm - I programmatically do
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openFile:path];
and would like to see Gorm.app open automatically and see it loading the file given by path (e.g. Test.gorm). Instead Test.gorm is opened on a Terminal window which is a little surprising to me!?
I unfortunately do not remember (from using GNUstep years ago) the exact mechanism of giving NSWorkspace the
pathExtension -> responsible application
info. From checking out Gorm.app/Resources I conclude that the Resources folder of an app needs to announce which kinds of files it can handle in some Info-gnustep.plist file which actually is a propertyList with an NSTypes = (...) entry!?
But how and when and by whom are all the installed applications Resources folders (the NSTypes entries) scanned to build a map so that NSWorkspace knows what to do with a
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openFile:path];
call? Is this map automatically created by NSWorkspace whenever sharedWorkspace is initiated? If so why does it not work for me (file contents shown in a terminal session)? Or do I need to build this map by calling some GNUstep utility manually after installing a new app?
Thanks a lot again,
Andreas
