It depends on your interface. If you're offering the ability to simply "open" this type of document using the normal mechanisms like the Open menu item, or dragging the file onto the application icon, then you would add the document type to Info.plist. In the normal file reading methods, you would read from the file and convert it to your format, and set the url to nil etc. Here's an example: http://www.sethwillits.com/temp/DocChangeTest.zip If you want a separate import process like using File -> Import, which does an open dialog, pick a file and it creates an untitled document, you'd just stick all of that in a normal top-level controller that does the reading, creates a new document of your native type, and sets the data on that document. -- Seth Willits _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
