On a mac you will need to create a info.plist file i will send you a
sample if needed just not to the forum. if you have XCode tools
intalled it is simple to create the bundle.
you have to have the nessesarry items. Now on windows you could just
create an installer that puts the folders in the user folder under
application support. With the name of your app as the folder. this
would make it virtually unseen by the user. and using the documents
folder as a starting point for the folderitem it will give easy
access on any machine. let me know if you want the info.plist i have.
I will email it directly to you.

I would like to have a double-clickable document that will launch
my application and be opened.
The difficulty is that my 'documents' are folders containing
images, text files, etc.
The solution (for OS X) seems to be making the document folders
into packages (bundles) that have an extension linked to the
application.
My questions:
1. what is needed to make a folder a bundle? A bundle associated
with a particular application?
I've read some of Apple's documentation, and, in my first attempt
at modifying the info.plist in the application and giving a
matching extension to the folder, nothing happened to the folder;
it stayed a folder. I'm assuming that the extension must be
registered by the finder, but I don't know when the finder reads
the info.plist. Also, I'm probably doing other stuff wrong.
2. Is there any similar strategy for window folders?
Thanks in advance,
John Kubie
