Register an application to open image files

I successfully registered my application for opening PDF files by including the following in my info.plist:

<key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key> <array> <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>PDF</string> <key>LSHandlerRank</key> <string>Alternate</string> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>com.adobe.pdf</string> </array> </dict> </array>

However, I can not register my application to open any image files, I tried to register not only for the base UTI image, but also for specific types, such as png and jpg. Is it possible to register to open image files?

The bad news is that it cannot be done. The desire for these things will be indicated in the documents.

open the plist with the source code and add this for the document.

 <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>All Files</string> <key>CFBundleTypeIconFiles</key> <array/> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>public.data</string> <string>public.content</string> </array> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Editor</string> <key>LSHandlerRank</key> <string>Owner</string> </dict>

I hope this will be helpful to you.

Open plist using the editor ...

Capitalization, etc. is critical, it is recommended to specify both lowercase and upper file extensions.

 <key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key> <array> <dict> <key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key> <array> <string>jpg</string> <string>JPG</string> </array> <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>Images</string> <key>CFBundleTypeRole</key> <string>Editor</string>

Then save the file. The application should now be registered to process this type of file.
