Thanks very much for your advice.
After receiving your email I set the filetype in the object's init method:
[self setFileType:FILEEXTENSION_QUICKLOOK]; //#define
FILEEXTENSION_QUICKLOOK @"CAQuickLook"
However, saving the file as before, still does not append a file extension.
On the call to:
[self saveDocumentWithDelegate:self
didSaveSelector:@selector(didSaveDocument:didSave:contextInfo:)
contextInfo:nil];
...I get this message from XCode:
2011-09-03 15:15:01.954 CATab[12618:903] -[NSDocumentController
fileExtensionsFromType:] is deprecated, and does not work when passed a uniform
type identifier (UTI). If the application didn't invoke it directly then the
problem is probably that some other NSDocument or NSDocumentController method
is getting confused by a UTI that's not actually declared anywhere. Maybe it
should be declared in the UTExportedTypeDeclarations section of this app's
Info.plist but is not. The alleged UTI in question is "CAQuickLook".
I went to the XCode App Properties panel and added an Exported UTI with file
extension of "CAQuickLook". However, saving the document, still does not append
a file extension to the file name.
What am I missing?
