Unfortunately all I can feed it with is the file extension....

Any other idea? Isn't there a mapping plist between extension and Kind that exists somewhere?

I missed the earlier part of this discussion, but does LSCopyKindStringForTypeInfo suit your needs?

Cheers,

Anyone knows how to get the system doc kind from a given extension. Not from a file, or a file path for that matter, but just from an extension. Like giving "pdf" and receiving "Portable Document Format (PDF). I've tried

NSString * theTest = [[NSDocumentController sharedDocumentController] typeFromFileExtension:@"pdf"];

But I get nil.

Any idea?


[NSDocumentController displayNameForType:] ?
