I want to create a custom UTType
to support multiple extensions(cxf and rwxf)
It similar to UTType.tiff
UTType.tiff.tags
[
public.filename-extension: ["tiff", "tif"],
public.mime-type: ["image/tiff"],
com.apple.nspboard-type: ["NeXT TIFF v4.0 pasteboard type", "NSTIFFPboardType"],
com.apple.ostype: ["TIFF"]
]
Currently! I can create with 1 file extension for custom UTType.
How do I create a custom UTType with multiple extensions(cxf and rwxf)?
UTType(tag: "cxf", tagClass: .filenameExtension, conformingTo: .data)
You can add as many file extensions as you want in the "Exported/Imported Type Identifiers" section of your project settings.
Here is an example where I have added "abc" and "def" as an exported type identifier:
Corresponding Info.plist code:
<key>UTExportedTypeDeclarations</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
<array>
<string>public.data</string>
</array>
<key>UTTypeDescription</key>
<string>Some Description</string>
<key>UTTypeIconFiles</key>
<array>
<string>icon</string>
</array>
<key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
<string>com.example.example</string>
<key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
<dict>
<key>public.filename-extension</key>
<array>
<string>abc</string>
<string>def</string>
</array>
<key>public.mime-type</key>
<array/>
</dict>
</dict>
</array>
You can then get this as a UTType
in your code like this:
print(UTType(exportedAs: "com.example.example").tags)
// prints '[public.filename-extension: ["abc", "def"]]'
