I am trying to register a custom document type in an iPad app, with the hopes that I can be prompted to work with files on an SD card attached to the iPad through the camera connection kit. Does anyone know if this is currently possible (or even for sure if it's not possible)? I was hoping that the Camera tab in Photos would use a docu...
I have a number of files that contain data in a format I am not familiar with. All of the data files begin with the same byte sequence, presumably a file header, and the sequence is "URES". I'm assuming that these files are some kind of resource file, perhaps a collection of data or other files all embedded into one file; that's just a...

And having combed through the various MSDN articles on the subject, the summary appears to be as follo...

Hi guys, i've got a problem with pushing files to my nexus one: It seems to me that there is only a small selection of file types that are accepted by my phone (such like jpg, gif and so on). I recently tried to push other files to my phone (in my case gpx) and my phone has rejected it automatically... is there a way to bypass or ext...

I've got an app, written in Obj-C. The info.plist has a list of file types that the app can open. I'm pretty sure that this is working because when I try to drag a file of an unacceptable type, the app doesn't highlight, but when I drag a file of an acceptable type, it does highlight, and lets me drop. When I drop, the app starts up, co...

In my solution I have 2 project. Let's call them the "editor" and the "player". They both operate on the same file type.

I'm trying to add UTI for a pair of file types, matching by extension. I think I've got it setup properly - at the very least, the file extension -> UTI mapping is recognized (I declared it as an imported type in info.plist). However, when I try to get the UTI off of my test file, I get back a dynamic UTI. Here's the sample code I'm usin...

However, these icons are neither free nor have a consistent design. Systems like OS X, Windows...

I'm making a search engine for our gigantic PHP codebase. Given a filepath, how can I determine with some degree of certainty whether a file is a text file, or some other type? I'd prefer not to have to resort to file extensions (like substr($filename, -3) or something silly), as this is a linux based filesystem, so anything goes as far...
