[QUOTE="AlyciaAnimation, post: 674172, member: 49992"] Are you writing the application yourself? I doubt just adding an extension to a particular application will automatically mean that i'll open or do anything with that app. Anyway, that kind of info is in the info.plist of the app. (you'll have to show package contents of the app). The thing you'll want to look for in particular is "CFBundleTypeExtensions". You can really add any extension to a folder and it'll be treated like a bundle. Like if you add .wdgt it'll turn into the widget icon. The folder, obviously, is still just an empty folder. I hope that helps, for whatever it is that you're trying to do. [/QUOTE]
